Today wasn’t a good photo day. I didn’t capture enough. I am guessing I am a bit worn out from the WIL project I did last week and a bit overloaded on photos. It’s ok, I don’t mind the fluctuations. I’ve learned it’s a part of life.
Here’s David running towards me with a story. That little boy can talk!! He takes after his mommy. Tells me stories all day long.
And here he is posing for camera. I’m not a fan of the posed look. But when he tells me to take a photo, I take a photo.
And here’s the only good one of the little boy.
I worked a lot today, didn’t do much else but I am ok with that. I am feeling better though still in back and jaw pain which I am not particularly happy about. But it shall pass. This week literally flew by and I can’t even remember anything I did with it.
I did start Pam Carriker’s class last night tho and I love it so far! Here’s my first sketch from last night:
it’s got a long way to go and all the ones I did after this are even worse but I am still playing. I am drawing. I can do this. I promised myself I will draw at least one face every day this week before I move on to the next lesson.
Note to Self:
Soooo…I decided to do something crazy today. A part of me is still undecided about it but then another part wants to plunge ahead. So let’s see what I actually end up doing. I have been feeling blah and unmotivated etc. lately as you already know. While some of it is gone, the rest is still here so I decided I will jumpstart the process and “Fake it till I feel it” so I am going to do a Layout a Day in May. I might sprinkle in some art journal pages in there, too but I am not sure yet. That sort of feels like cheating. Is that cheating? I still need to plan and prepare so let’s see if I have time to do that in the one day before the month starts! Am I crazy? I think a bit. And I am not feeling 100% good about this yet. But…maybe it’s best just to take the plunge. I wonder if it will leave me more depleted or invigorated…
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. Almost Friday baby! This is going to be a bit more of a hectic weekend than I’d like but still I love the weekend.
2. I am grateful for chocolate today. I love chocolate. A little too much.
3. Grateful for feeling and being more productive, too. It makes me feel better to feel better, isn’t that crazy?
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. Grateful for Daddy.
2. Grateful for playing with Nathaniel.
Hi Karen,
I wanted to share how strange it is to see that sign. We have Keep Left everywhere here in Australia. I never have seen a Keep Right sign yet. You likely see is as very normal, ordinary and everyday but it’s not for me. It’s strange indeed. Bye, Lisa.
that’s so odd. never even thought of it until your post 🙂
I love the sketched face you did, I thought it was lovely. It reminded me of Kate Mason’s art which you can find at katemason dot blogs dot com. I’m too scared to try drawing, but a class seems a great idea. I’m also loving your “Layout a day in May” challenge – I’m inspired to try that too! Thanks, lovin’ your work 🙂 Deb xox
i am scared too. that’s why I am doing it. I’ve drawn a face everyday for the last six days. most of them are terrible but it’s practice 🙂 you should do it!
