imperfectly

 



 



 



 

 



 



 







 

I spent a lot of

my off time

outside

the weather was wonderful

no humidity

is a good thing

though my dogs have

been concerned about it

 

I'm still working on my little mermaid

painting

and getting more and more

behind on my weekly

classes

I try to fit them in

like the journal pages above

it's so nice to just

write, draw and paint

imperfectly

 

loving

coffee outside

building fires

 cicadas singing in the trees

creating with the kids at work

checking things off my to do list

long drives in the white car

Gilmore Girls

reading

 

 

 



my own style?

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I finished my style study

and found I do

have my own style

now I just have to keep

practicing

and fine tune it

 

we had our pokemon club

at work

I'm so glad the kids are

interested in learning

how to play the

card game

even had a few adults

come who still

enjoy it

 

another thing this week

was a watercolor

activity

the kids were so wonderful

I just love talking

with them as

they get creative and paint

they seem as excited

as I am about it all

 

I've started a little mermaid class

and I'm really enjoying it

it is free until the end of June

on willowing.org

if you are interested

its wonderful to watch whether you paint

or not

 

loving

having my coffee outside in the mornings

reading at the local coffee shop

big blue morning glories

painting on my days off

children who love books

and art

and pokemon

Loving // everything I'm learning about art and myself

in my Lifebook classes 

Eating // everything I shouldn't

Drinking // same as above

Feeling // hopeful that I can change my bad habits and look and

feel better

Making // little art studies of my favorite artists

Thinking //  about playing the pokemon card game at work today

with a bunch of sweet kids

Dreaming // of finishing my art room

oh this morning!

cool and dry

feels so wonderful

and last night was too

so we built a little fire

and listened to the birds

settle in

then the frogs and the

lightning bugs

start up

sigh...

I really wish

I could sleep out there

but I heard a motorcycle far away

and it reminded me of

a growling mountain lion

and I knew id never make it

 I feel like its real

so I go in

 

our lifebook class

last week has been so much fun

and I have learned a lot

about my why I'm drawn to certain types of art

we get to try our favorite artists style

and then write what we love about

it

it's funny how I don't realize

stuff like that until

I write it down

 

loving eating out at favorite places

and finding new favorites

crocheting wash rags

lifebook 2017 classes

doodles
