The past week
I haven’t posted pictures since last Wednesday due to my schedule. Went to DC on Thursday for work, then Friday I was at Dr. Sketchy’s. Saturday, I slept all day, recovering from the last three months of intense work. Sunday, spent the day getting a lot of things in order, since I’ve been so busy.
Then, here we are.
Later tonight I’ll begin posting daily sketches again. Including the sketches I did last week. Even though I didn’t post, I continued to draw.
Another factor in this is that I don’t really think anyone other than me cares if these pictures show up daily. I’ve heard from a few friends that they’ve been inspired to work on some personal hobbies after hearing that I’m drawing something every day. That gives me a great feeling. However, I recently found out that some people I know who’ve expressed interest in my art have not been here in months. Had no idea I was doing. Lately since I’ve got a new position at work and we’re fortunate enough to have a ton of work to do, I’ve been going pretty hard. While working on a sketch a day and a painting week. While learning how to use oils and paint watercolor on canvas. While trying to not isolate us from all our friends. While getting ready to have our first kid. So, while creating drawings and paintings is a need I have and a passion I need to follow, it’s a battle some times to fit time in. Hearing that people close to me, who say they care about this stuff don’t actually go to the site for several months takes some of the wind out of my sails.
That said, this is for me. No one asked me to do this. I’m doing it to keep my skills sharp and to nurture the gift I was given.
So – tonight I’ll be back on track with the drawings and I’ll paint a little, too.
Thanks for reading.
