Today I‘ve been busy painting. I’m in the figuring it out stage,

and I’m happy with the work so far, but there’s nothing to
show you. I’ve been listening to podcasts on Alyson Stanfield’s
Art Biz site while I painted, and I highly recommend them. 
They are so inspiring.

For the past month I’ve been travelling most of the time,
so I’ve been sketching every chance I get. I was going to show
you a couple of my current sketches, and then I came upon this
drawing I like of the writer, Sandra Martin, from when I was painting
her portrait in 2004. So I hope you like it as much as I do.  Sandra Martin
is an amazing writer, and wonderful person.

Have a loving you life day.
