Routine

"Authors and uncaptured criminals are the only people free from routine."
-Eric Robert Linklater,
 Poet's Pub

Feeling like an uncaptured criminal recently.
(An extreme statement, ...may be the author wannabe in me.)

Back to daily drawing/sketching.

Rebecca 14 - sketch

Here's to routine!!

Revisiting an older Journal - Breathe - 09-02-96

You heard my voice before you were born.
You heard my voice in the womb.
It was my voice you heard say divide now,
And my voice you heard say divide again.

You heard my voice say, grow a heart now, grow eyes now,
Grow fingers and toes.
It was my voice you heard say BREATHE
When you first saw the light of this world.

You heard my voice say, Laugh when you were happy,
Cry when you were hungry, Scream out when you were afraid.

You heard my voice before the words of this world covered it like a blanket.

You hear my voice.
It is my voice you hear say I CAN.

...When you first saw the light of this world.

Remembering the families and friends of Bruce and Daniel,
both taken this month under different circumstances.

Change in Plans

Just Let Go - Sketch Journal

Illustration - Past Work

Works created for LifeWay Christian Resources.

From an 8 page teaching project about forgiveness.

Created for a nursery door poster.

At the time I created these, I was more focused on meeting deadlines than archiving work. These are scanned prints left over from my own work-in-process evaluation.

Works in progress

This started out as a warm up sketch from a photo,
but I kinda liked the little guy.
I plan to take this one a little further,
thus posted as Work in Process.


Progress on The Tables.
It has been a while since I created a large pastel, so I am feeling my way through, and questioning myself through the phases more than I would like.
Seeing the work on screen helps.
I see things here that are less obvious at my work table.

From my sketch journal - A Gift

This is an excerpt from an old sketch journal (1999). "A Gift".
Feeling overwhelmed, and remembering scenes from the movie "Phenomenon," I took the few minutes of a work break to absorb the view of a bird enjoying flight.
It was a rich few minutes for me - the places my imagination went.

Nature can bring
such grace.....
