happy as a lark

I am truly

right about now.

Let me tell you why!

This morning I went into my studio without any preconceived ideas as to what I was going to do while I was in there.

I started as I usually do by checking out FaceBook and reading/responding to emails.

Then...

* I got up from my chair *

* Grabbed my charcoal *

* Went to my easel *

* Started drawing this lady.

You may be wondering, "What makes this so different than all the other drawings I do, regularly."

Right?

This is why...

On this very day I have overcome 2 major resistances.

#1- This is a 24" x 24" inch canvas that I've had on my easel for many months now.  

I've added paint to it  hoping that would spur me on.

I usually paint/draw much smaller than this.

#2.  I have been wanting to start drawing bigger and looser.  

Here I have overcome drawing bigger

You see... 

It's the simple things in life that can make a person happy.

I'll be sure to show you when she's done.

Thank You for all of your support and encouragement.

I couldn't do this without YOU!
