I read a post this week and you seemed “down” and now this little whimsical drawing pops up. Excellent. Not lazy at all, but creative. I believe you were stuck in the rut of words and photography. Not that that is ever a negative. It is wonderful, especially yours. Yet, obviously your soul was aching to expand. May I say I believe I understand what you meant about being “immersed in your drawing and having other thoughts come to you”. I love color chips and brochures from the paint stores and Home Depot. I have a entire file of even outdated colors that I keep. It is not the color per se, but what it does to the flow of creativity. Whatever works! Oh yes, I am sure you are aware that others who are not gifted the same way will never understand us when we are gliding along our creative path. Happy drawings and please continue to share all your drawings. Hmm, the thought just came to me that perhaps another book, after the one you are working on, is in the works already in your head. A book with your whimsical drawings and words. One of those charming, little books that are so often called, “stocking stuffers” because of their small size. Delightful little books giving the reader countless smiles. Save those drawings!

I kept my 7th graders fascinated on schoolyard excursions with watching them, too. It appears that the iPad art tools are lots of fun to work with. Tell me which app you are using, and maybe I’ll get me or my husband trying it, too.

I LOVE this…it’s so whimsical, perhaps like your mood when you drew it. Becky
