2013 Sketching – Week 27

My goal for 2013 is to make three sketches a week. If I make more, great. If I don’t, that’s ok. Trying to keep the pressure low while still encouraging myself to draw.

Finally trying to get back into the groove of things. Here are the ones I’ve done in the ladt few weeks:

that’s it for this week.

Before this week’s art here’s the important reminder: Please remember, this is personal and hand-made and thus imperfect. If you want perfect art, do not buy mine. Also one more reminder that these are pretty small. 5.5inches by 5.5inches. That’s about 14×14 centimeters). You will just get the original piece of watercolor paper with my art and signature in the back. No mounting, no frame. I don’t want to misrepresent anything. I will put a paypal button under each (you can pay with credit card or paypal.) the button doesn’t update so you will have to click through to see if it’s sold out. I will try to update them as quickly as I can and remove the button if it’s gone, but just in case. Each piece will be $35. That’s US dollars. If you have questions please leave a comment and I will reply as fast as I can.

With that here’s this week’s art:

it reads: the perfect balance does not exist. we are all doing the best we can.

Gratitude Journal – Week 26

Here’s this week’s gratitudes and celebrations:

I had intended to use the last two weeks’ pages while I was in Turkey but I ended up deciding otherwise and instead of coming back and retrofitting my gratitudes, I decided to just pickup where I’d left off and fill up the two pages starting from there. So this and next week, I’ll be using the pages I shared in the last two weeks.
