Arizona MVD

I think I’m finally starting to feel better about fitting in a sketching where/when I can. I’ve always felt like I needed to “schedule” art time or something. Today, I…

Busy time of year

I’m not sketching/painting/creating daily right now. Tis this season to be too busy to do anything productive for yourself, but I’m certainly not complaining. I’ve actually been doing some createful…
