Getting Back...

...to making fabulously free and wonderfully wonky drawings

in my illustrated sketchbook.

Each is made

lead free...ink straight in...

and watercolored a few days later, at home.

Sometimes, 

I feel like I need to draw...just like I need to breathe.

I have truly missed you, girl!

Ahhhh!

Down on the Farm...

 ...a wonderful, serenely glorious, girls day out!

 

"Everything is blooming most recklessly;

if it were voices instead of colors,

there would be

an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night."

I Need to Go To Rehab...

...to take care of this week long (ARTzona withdrawal)

MIGRAINE I have been having!!!

I really miss
all my artistic sisters
and all that wonderful 24/7 addictive art fun we had.
Things are artfully quiet these days.
I think my migraine felt the void and hopped right in!

Actually...

I cannot really blame ARTzona for my discomfort...

although my Muse wouldn't agree.

Unfortunately,

my migraine situation is

definitely a very, very fierce reality...and

I felt just like I look in my sketch above...all week.

 Fortunately, 

thanks to Imitrix, the pain seems to be easing

a bit...good news.

I am certainly glad I am not a die hard Denver Bronco fan

as I don't think my brain would

bounce back to normal...

ev-er!
