Daily sketch 🏚🪾🥷🐈‍⬛️ Can you spot the cat ? What about the samurai ? Below is a zoomed version of it :) #art #artsky #ink #sketch

“Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair” ~Nelson Mandela Point toward the sun & do not give in to despair. Ok!

What a lovely garden this was to sit in and sketch! (maybe I overdid the twiddly bits). There were two friendly white poodles wandering around and if you zoom in you'll see one of them sitting on the circular seat along with another sketcher. #watercolour #Indianink #poodle #garden #enpleinair

Day 48 #365days #release Nite nite. Sleep tight. Let go. You can work on your goals tomorrow.

Sometimes, it's a valid show of love to leave to evade the gauntlet of despair that precedes the end, cause limited damage to be single, better than to be in the weeds of misery, when hope's foliage blooms soon enough only better to have known way back when, before life forced the lesson.

Day 47 #365days #rainbow Remember, all things happen for a reason.

Day 45 #365days #valentines A Valentine from the love of my life; my 8 year old daughter at the time in 2006. I am blessed.

I found the year’s first Pipevine swallowtail!! Sometimes hope is found in something as small as a butterfly. When everything feels heavy, I walk along the creek near home. The sound of water over rocks, sighting fresh blooms, the call of birds, remind me that the world still hums with quiet life.

Day 37 #365days #scholasticartshow It does not seem like a year since hanging day. We have some talented students. Wish I had taken time to snap a few. Slow down and enjoy each simple moment.

Sometimes you’ll feel doubt & sadness sneaking in from the echoes of emotional wounds. Keep in mind that this pain is not a flaw. It’s normal to reflect & process. It’s ok to cry. Breathe in with acceptance & honor your struggle as a foundation of your growth. No mud, no lotus.
