wow....

my break is drawing to a close.  I realize that I have not been here - oh.... on any consistent basis. This week I have concentrated on finishing two big projects- both of which have had me in a creative mode- YAY!!!
I am mailing off my Sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project tomorrow.  It has been a great project- in that I have a lot of new ideas for work, I have been able to re-visit some old techniques that I will be teaching AND the first little peek below is a brainstorm between my sketchbook theme-'jackets, blankets and sheets and this month's theme for Creative Every Day- The Cosmos.

This weekend I will finish up my syllabi for the new classes -along with figuring out demos for the painting class.  I am eager to teach the drawing and painting course this semester.  So far I have two  FABULOUS books for the courses that I am to teach. 

The Watercolor Book, David Dewey
Classical Drawing Atelier, Juliette Aristides



  I was back at work in the paint shop this week and classes begin Tuesday.  I don't want to lose the momentum that I have had for the past couple of weeks!  My goal for this semester is to keep one creative thing going and posting here- in some form or fashion.

For Creative Every Day-and an entry in the SBP

 I often think of the night sky as a blanket being pulled over the earth as the sun sets.
