Party Girl

I'm in a strange mood today.  Above is a drawing I did about a week ago.  I haven't been very active art wise, everything seems to get in the way.  Mostly my job as a teacher.

Teaching can be very rewarding, and today was especially great.  Yet when I get home I only want to focus on my own work, and I hardly have the energy.

Dreamer

Today I spent all morning trying to get one stupid composition to work on one of my long term projects.  After a while I had to just get out of the house.  So I skateboarded to the closest coffee shop to zone out.  While watching the traffic whiz by I sketched this picture of a woman sleeping.  If only my own life could be so peaceful.  More and more I go to my sketchbook as an escape from the toils of everyday life.  If only I could make all my dreams come true with a brush stroke.
