TGIF Post-it fun
Realized recently that my goal was to draw something every day as a non-punitive nod to lent and all that my Catholic upbringing has done to my psyche. And, can you believe?--Easter's come and gone (marked by the usual conversation with mom: "did you go to church?" "uh, no" {silence}). But here I am, still drawing! Woohoo! Lunamania said it takes 21 days to make something a habit. So I'm wondering if this is a habit yet, or what.

Interestingly, I've found it harder to post than to draw. Which is good, no, great! If I had to choose, it's the daily drawing that I'm more concerned with cultivating. But the interesting bit, to me, is that tho I'm on a computer all day (and able to post incessantly, if I care to), it's the drawing that's easier for me. Well, not easier, but more drawn to (no pun intended). Perhaps it's a function of being on a computer much too much, or perhaps it's simply that drawing and painting do something meditative to me.

Whatever it is, I'm happy to have started this experiment (and it's not over yet...). My next goal is to figure out a schedule for posting. Perhaps once or twice a week. But someway to keep me engaged and putting stuff out there. Also considering putting in an entry for a juried exhibition (thx mosspink for the kickinthepants). And work (not that work, this work) has been engaging and I'm excited to have opportunities to make stuff everyday, whatever the outcome.

Thanks for the healthy perspective re: posting versus getting whatever it is you're trying to do done. I've enjoyed your sketches and look forward to more!
