CreativeTherapy and Trip Preparations

Yesterday the latest of the CreativeTherpy Catalysts was published. I participated, so stop over there to take a look at my response to this week’s catalyst, if you haven’t already! It felt so good to draw again and to pick up the watercolor pencils! I’m trying to work ahead on some other catalysts so I [...]

Every Day in May #8

Today I didn’t have much time for drawing. I went to meet Angie for coffee this morning. She’s getting ready to leave on vacation for a week and we were both in need of a visit! Then I had a meeting with a woman who was interested in seeing the Baha. We met at 10:30 [...]

Every Day in May # 7

Yesterday I did a lot of drawing, but I can only share two small drawings with you for yesterday’s Every Day in May challenge. The other is for Sunday’s CreativeTherapy catalyst, which will be revealed on Sunday. To the right is a drawing of my pencil sharpener. Not a perfect drawing, but a drawing, nonetheless. [...]

Every Day in May Drawings #6

Today I decided to do some drawing for most of the day. I’m trying to figure out if I really like the feel of the Hand-Book travel journals, since I bought one for my trip to France. I’ll decide after I get some time in with the paper. It’s thinner than what I use when [...]

Every Day in May Day 2

Today I am still feeling fatigued from the treatment. No surprise there… However, I am still challenging myself to keep up with at least one drawing each day. Today I did two challenges from the Every Day Matters Group. EDM 31 – Draw something you collect. I brought my grandmother’s vintage train case into the [...]

Some Drawings

While my niece was here, I did get some time to do a bit of drawing. As always, drawing always keeps me grounded. That’s why it was even more important for me to do it while I was hosting the family. To the left is my CreativeTherapy response to “What makes you, you?” which is [...]

Saturday art

Today has been a great day! I woke up feeling great and excited for the day. For weeks, Angie and I have been planning to join in the International Sketchcrawl and we did it! We finally got to spend some time together and I was able to get out of the house! Today was the [...]

Watercolor Pencils Class is Over

Well, today was the final day for our watercolor pencil class. I’m sad that it’s over, but I really enjoyed the class. It was challenging and rewarding. I will definitely continue to use the lessons from the class. The most important thing: I am completely convinced that I need to continue to practice my drawing [...]

Taking it slow

Thanks to all of you who sent healing wishes. My balance appears to be better after three days of solumedrol; however, I am feeling rather weak and worn out. I’m staying in the house today and tomorrow to, hopefully, regain some energy. I’m doing a lot of sleeping after suffering the insomnia from the solumedrol. [...]

Friday Drawing

As usually happens after my treatment, last night and today have been worse for me than yesterday was. I’m not surprised. It’s my usual flow. This morning I felt awful and sat in the den and stared at shows that I had saved on TiVo for just this reason. Dave left for work and I [...]
