Art Every Day.

I started to try to challenge myself to do art FOR MYSELF every day. I do a lot of art that I give away (in exchange for art from others) but not very much for myself. I find my days lacking in free time, lately, especially now that we have a vehicle. When you don't have a car, you don't go anywhere unless it is necessary. I thought that having a car would give me more free time, but not really, it just gives me more out of the house, spending time with Rob and Greyson time. which is enjoyable, and wonderful, of course. Regardless, the amount of "art for me" that I've done is pathetic. I challenged myself midsummer and I bought a sketchbook especially for it ..at the end of August, maybe? I have filled 4 pages. I am ashamed. But maybe putting it out there will encourage me. Here are all of my... sort of pathetic, art of the days. I have found it really therapeutic to write on the pages, sometimes covering the journalling up with art. I have been also doing this in my abandoned DLP art journal, pretty much using it exclusively as a journal now, making use of all the pre-painted tip-ins and the boring layouts. I promise, next time I post this I will have better things to show you!

Playing with twinkling h2os and pen, mostly just covering up the journalling I did, trying to get myself moving.

I drew this for practice, I will be doing more soon, for a swap.

Playing with my new gelatos. This was extremely therapeutic for me, the gelatos are really fun to use, smooth, creamy, easily manipulated with water. Really like them.

Just forcing myself to do something.
