Favourite practices


Journal Sketch

Looking through my photos for drawings, I came upon this one that
I quite like for its simplicity.  I did not get to paint today, and that's
not great because I'm on deadline, but I will paint tomorrow.

I'm showing you this very simple drawing because I think one of my
best "practices" in recent years (similar to writing a daily blog), has
been to try to write in a journal for three pages, and if not for two
pages, with one drawing. Starting the day that way is very good for
me, because I almost always get a drawing I like, and then I can
move on to the rest of the day feeling more confident.

I hope you had a happy and artistic day.

Have a loving your life day.
