Backlogged Part 2 |A Week of Doodles Coming at Ya!

Well hello there! I'm a slacker.  Actually I'm exhausted and have been working my butt off for school this week. 

So, the doodles have been happening, but not getting posted daily.  I'm okay with that. Don't get me wrong, my goal as of now is to make and post daily.  I've got the make part down pat.  It's the posting.

On my honor I will make a great effort at being more diligent.

Heck, I don't even know if anyone out there is looking at these, or even cares if they get shared.  But I do.

The images are in order below.

Sunday- boat

Monday- peony

Tuesday-Yahoo

Wednesday- peaceful and powerful

Thursday- Brave

Friday (yesterday)- hell yeah!

Backlogged | Another Puppy and a Bit of Rain

I owe you two doodles from yesterday and the day before.  Well here they are.

Lfe just got away from me. 

I will show you the one I'm working on today...in tomorrow's post.  Then I will be all caught up on posting these.

The first one is from 2 days ago, the second is yesterday's doodle.

I may have had some help from photoshop with the letters.  Eh- sometimes I need help, this was one of those days.

This is an image based on a photo on facebook.  This lovely lady and her pup's pictures always make me smile.  She loves dogs and so I thought I'd make her and LB my doodle for the day!

 

I Like You...Lots

I do, I really really do.

Today has been a really hard day.  After waking up at 4:30 driving three hours to class, giving a presentation I had a week to prepare in a giant auditorium in which I couldn't refer back to my notes because it was so dark I couldn't see them, I had to go to my research class. 

I hate this class.  This classes causes me more anxiety than any other class ever has in the history of classes because there is so much black and white information, and math, and numbers, and math.  The professor asked us what we wanted to learn about research during the class.  I responded, in tears mind you, that I understood virtually nothing and needed to learn everything.

Today has been a hard day.

I am happy to say I am onto my FAVORITE class EVER!  And during this class I will be able to do a bit of research processing thru art.  Also my research professor kindly offered lots of help and some meetings to work together.

Well here is my doodle of the day.  I feel like I need a little magic in my life right now and what's more magical than even David Copperfeild (ha ha) you ask?

Unicorns.

Learn To Listen

This was not hand lettered.  I cheated with a little photoshop action.

No Worries

Reminding myself that worries are just thoughts, they do not have control over me.  No worry Sunday.

Grow

A little reminder to myself (and maybe even you) that we grow a little, learn a little, and understand a littlebit more every single day.  We just need to be open to the experience.  If we are open then it will happen...and we might not even realize it til later.

Art Every Day 2.0 | A Response | Geometric Tree

In August I began a graduate program in Art Therapy at Eastern Virginia Medical School.

This is very exciting for me.

With this program I will be making a lot of art, and reading a SHIT TON of books, articles, and all that jazz.  Sooooo I thought I would re-start my Art Every Day via school stuff.  Some of it will be visual journaling, some in class exercises, and then just some miscellaneous stuff.

Sounds good right?

Right.
