Day one of Creative Living Challenge
Rules: Don’t look at your paper as you draw and don’t lift the pen.
(I cheated a couple times.)
I take one every morning
sometimes they go down easy and
sometimes they’re hard to swallow
but poems are my vitamins




This is my 1,005th post.
I have a cold, so it’s lame.

I should could be working on my National Board Certification, but I wanted to do this instead. Drawing and painting help me get centered, as long as I embrace imperfection.
This is the first in a series of lessons in Lisa Congdon’s Inktober challenge (Creativebug.com). I’m supposed to use ink, but I don’t have any yet. So I used watercolor.

“So if your final product is not what you had hoped, the daily practice will help you.”

Let’s hope so!
Painting this was a lot of fun. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. I just ordered some “bleed proof” white that August uses. Watercolor white doesn’t mimic the bleed proof very well.

Practice a kindness every single day. If you’re already doing this, consider being kind to – yes – a rude person, or someone you are not particularly fond of. It’s challenging, but it’s important, if we’re going to change the world.
