This blog is really a journal of my journey into the world of art. I have no formal art training and have not done much more than doodle since I was a kid. But I am learning that art is an important aspect that has been missing from my life. Thanks to some wonderful extremely artistic friends in the fountain pen world and on Twitter I have begun this journey - thanks, Mia, for insisting that everyone is an artist!

75 Sketches 75 Days #3
I have decided to participate in Brenda Swenson's 75 Day Sketch Challenge. I thought that this MIGHT be easy since I have been trying to do a Sketch a Day anyhow. So, while this is Sketch a Day #24 it is 75 Day Sketch challenge #3, since I set my official start day as this past Friday.
Today I ventured outside and tried to capture our cottage. This used to be a garage, the original owners called it the "Jeep Barn". We use it as a workout center. I think I'll stay inside the balance of the week, it was really, really hot out side and, of course, my Akita posse had to join me. They spent the time racing up and down the fence with the horses and then coming back and panting and drooling on my.
I began this is one notebook and then had to stop and get a larger notebook. I think I like working in the smaller notebook (right now anyway).

Sketch a Day #23
funny - we've been in this house 8 years and I never really noticed that the brick courses in the fireplace were laid in double instead of single rows

Sketch a Day #22
Trying to slow down and really see the details. The slowing down part is really difficult for me, I want to see results, quick. I think that has been, and is, my biggest obstacle.
