A new blog.......


























First off, I just want to say that everyone can draw. You wouldn't believe how many people tell me they can't draw a straight line, or they can't draw a stick figure. I can't draw a straight line without a ruler. My thought is, if you really want to draw you can, it just takes practice. I don't always do great drawings and I'll show you a few that aren't too hot.

I wanted to start a new blog just for my sketches and paintings so here it is....... I've drawn since I was eight years old (or so) and have been painting in various mediums for over 20 years. I took a break a couple of years ago and got into altered art but I'm starting to miss painting so I'm trying to squeeze that in also. An artist friend of mine recommended drawing for 15 minutes a day, no matter what it is, doodles or real sketches. I got out of that habit and now I'm getting back into it. It's my goal to draw everyday. Just something, anything, just to do it. I hope this inspires you to do the same........
