It has been a busy winter, and I've even had a busy start to my spring. The Florida pollen is in full force and my time spent outside is at a minimum. Can you say allergies and gesundheit? (I totally had to google how to spell that!) One positive side to the pollen is that I get to stay inside and draw more! Yay!!!! And I am back on the diet. Not yay!!!!!! (But I am down 7 pounds. Yay!!!)
As I mentioned recently, I am busy making art for book submissions. Currently I am working on submissions for seven different books. I started this drawing late last night. It needs much more done to it but it's at least a start. Most of the book deals state that I can not share the art online beforehand, but one did not have any such lingo in the paperwork. So I can show you step-by-step what I develop. So. Stay tuned :). And while you're at it why don't you go make some art? You'll be glad you did!
I am really having a hard time focusing lately. My health hasn't been great and stress levels are taking a toll. I am trying to remember that this isn't permanent. That better days are just ahead. So I make myself draw.
Zentangle® is an awesome art form that allows me to just.not.think. I can stand at my work table for hours and draw little lines and make beautiful art. What you see above is what I drew last night. And seriously, it was just one little line after another. You wouldn't even believe how easy that big spiral flower thing was to draw.
I am still working on a large scale project. When completed - this will be cut down into 16 ATCs with one color accent. I'm leaning towards blue or purple, but not totally decided yet. It's that focus thing again. Haha! Actually - it screams for watercolors but alas, that isn't to be. So sad. Well, I'm just going to go ramble on a bit more at my work table. Hoping your day is blessed and that you get to make art!
