Children's author and illustrator takes challenge to sketch daily in 2009. Each sketch will be posted nightly. Some will be finished, some will not. I may continue to upload the same sketch in different phases until it is finished. As long as I sketch daily, and prove it by posting, then I've met my challenge. Subscribe to my blog and leave me comments to help me with my challenge. It always helps when my readers/viewers get involved. Thanks so much and wish me luck!!!
1. Almost Thanksgiving

Hello world....


Here it is almost Thanksgiving and I haven't even come close to my original New Years goal of sketching of every day. The good news is I am an optimist!!! You see, I look at it like this... if I never started this blog I would never have paid so much attention to my artistic side. I started the blog mainly because I have become more of a writer than an illustrator/artist and that was bothering me. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE writing because its like putting a puzzle of thoughts together. VERY challenging. But I got so wrapped up in it all I lost my art. I love my art. I always have. It got me through some extremely challenging times in my life. (Although writing did too) The point I am trying to make here is that I need to strike a balance between my art and my writing. I have just finished a wonderful book called Taking Flight by Kelly Rae Roberts and I must tell you it has re-awakened my artistic side. I am grateful to her for writing it and recommend any artist that misses their art should read it. VERY INSPIRING 
I will try my best to get some artwork up today. If not then definitely some time this week.
Thanks for reading!!!
