Following My Heart
April 29, 2008 at 11:51 am | In follow your heart, princesstomato | 20 CommentsTags: different drum, follow your heart, free spirit
I made a commitment last week to work on something new each day. If I could just squeeze in practicing with the Wacom, using Photoshop, and other mediums I have gotten away from the last few years, for just 30 minutes a day…something good will come of it! Then, last night I ran into this challenge on Alicia’s blog: THE 21-DAY CHALLENGE…perfect!!
Here is one of the pieces I did yesterday. I wrote the little poem last week, and then could not get this image out of my head so I had to give it a shot. I like the sketches better than the color version,,,but I may make another version too. That is the purpose of the challenge, after all!

All things come at the right time. I was also going to commit one week to draw something everyday, then found out about the challenge!
Nice combination of words and art. Both compliment each other nicely!

thanks guys! this is great to have so many people with the same goal in mind. the accountability factor adds an extra bit of motivation to try some new things, getting some of those “back burner” sketches on the front burner!

Thanks everyone.
Linda, I like the poem too.
Cynthia, thanks…yes you can’t go wrong too often with that as a battle cry, can you?
Sandra, thank you so much.
May, I haven’t used watercolor for quite awhile. I had forgotten how much I missed it. These are good practice sessions.
Kate, thanks sweet girl. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Teri

I mam really digging your pastelly, sketchy, coloring that you’re putting with your pencil work. Have I told you that already?
Sorry if I have, trying to catch up with all the fun you’ve been up to on your 21 day challenge!
