Loving drawing

The Month of Love certainly feels like a good turning point in the year.
Last night I had the fantastic idea of trying to draw 100 sketches in a day.
Possible? Yes if I worked for eight hours straight, and did a drawing every
4. 8 minutes, I could do it. But each drawing might be a scribble.  Still I
liked the idea.  At some point while I was sleeping reason must have taken
over. I woke up and thought, 'Really? What would be the point of that?'

The good thing about the whole idea was how excited I got about the self
imposed challenge.  It felt like this intense idea was a breakthrough. I
was so hyped by the concept.  This morning I talked to a friend, an artist
in The Netherlands, and she had drawn 8 beautiful drawings of cats in
one evening while she was watching TV!  What? So amazing.

But when reason took over for me I decided that it would be better to
just draw all day. I’d see what I got done, and devote as much time as
 I wanted to each drawing.  That turned out to be a great idea, but in a
day filled with delightful interruptions and other work demands, I did
not draw all day. I did draw, and hey -- I am happy because of my crazy
brain and its deliciously ambitious thoughts.

Here are a couple of things I did. But I must say it was fun.

And that is creativity for you

Have a loving your life day.
