My blog birthday
I celebrated my blog birthday on March 26th! Yay blog!!! I was sick then and the day sorta came and went with little fanfare. So, I'm taking this opportunity to reflect on the past year. In fact, the last drawing I did represents for me a culmination of a year of practice, using different media, trying to find my groove, trying to find myself ...
In the past year, I've met some pretty incredible people and a few have become dear, dear friends. Everyone that I've met along the way has influenced my growth as a creator of art but also as a person. Thank you all for that. I thought about all of you as I sat outside this afternoon, drawing my favorite daisies with Kanoe at my side. Sketching the simplicity of nature around me reminded me of why I started my blog ... to reconnect with the creative side of me that I felt was buried for too long. Now that it's been released, there is no going back!
I'm pretty excited about this next year. I don't know what it will hold ... but I kinda like where it's heading.
*hugs to you all*

Happy Birthday! What wonderful studies — so rich and somehow delicate. Now I want to head out with a pencil. Of course, I'll have to push the snow off the flowers first. sigh.
