Small drawings that bring a big smile

I'm in late bloom when it comes to participating in this month's Creative Everyday theme. However, I still managed to get these little or shall I say SMALL doodles on paper. They bring a big smile to my face.

AEDM/NaNoJoumo Days 8-14

I've missed some days, but I have made up in different ways for AEDM and NaNoJoumo.  Here's what I have from Days 8-14 that could fit on the scanner. Two of my pieces were too big. You'll have to wait till I get batteries for my camera to see those (Virtue and Forge). And as last roundup, all of my cues were from Dawn at D'blogala.

Day 14 Creation- PORTRAY

Who shall I portray myself to be today?

Have you ever felt the need to put on a different face for a different crowd?

Day 13 Creation -MYSTIQUE

What lies within the forest?

Day 13 Creation #2- ESSENCE was the word for Day 12, but I was out and about.

Dance freely and smell the essence of life.

Day 11 Creation- REVERIE

All the things I daydream about captured in symbols/words:

Love, Peace, Money, Condo with a water and city view, A happy earth

Day 10 Creations -LIBERTY

I took the liberty to modify one of my fractals in various ways. 

DAY 9's Creation is absent, but it had a dear message to share.

FORGE

Forge ahead my dear soldier! Victory is almost near.

Day 8 Creation- The word for the day was VIRTUE.

Too bad you can't see my virtuous woman.

However, here's my doodle while I was in the coffee shop.

NaNoJoumo & AEDM Days 4-7

Hey Everyone!

Here's the roundup of ink on paper for NaNoJoumo and AEDM. These are from Day 4 up to now. I took my cues from NaNoJoumo to keep me moving.

Day 7 Creation- The word of the day is MOMENT.

I'm in the moment of speaking more lovingly. This list is just a start.



Day 6 Creation- Esoteric is the word and hearts and spirals abound.

Day 5 Creation- I found EQUANIMITY to come right on time.

I feel more balanced now. Thank goodness.



Day 4 Creation- The word of the day was QUARTER.

I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if quarters got another makeover?

Let's have pretty pictures and illustrated faces on them."



Art Everywhere This Month

November is a special time for artists. Currently, I'm participating in a few projects which some of you may be partaking in as well. I've committed myself to creating art daily for Art Every Day Month, which is hosted by Leah at Creative Everyday. I'm also putting pen to paper and whatever else comes to mind for NaNoJoumo being hosted over at D'blogala. Whew! Haven't posted pics yet. Maybe, this evening it will happen. Almost forgot to mention that I'm collecting doodles for The Doodle Daily's World Doodle Challenge. Warren says, "Keep them coming!" I will indeed. These projects are just what I need, especially after an art slump.

Having a Well-balanced Life

I created this cute pic after really thinking about all that I need to do to stay sane.  I think it may ring true for others as well. I believe it resonates well with the Creative Everyday challenge theme of Life.

The Good Life

This month's theme for Creative Everyday is Life. 

I think life should always be filled with color and vibrancy.

Being an artist affords me the privilege of having such fortune.

What brings color and life into your world?

Staying Committed in July

It's already the third day in July.  Time is moving by so fast.  Anywho, I'm a part of the Creative Everyday challenge, but I haven't been sharing with you my daily creations.  Initially, I said that I would post on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  For some weeks, it's been more like whenever I get around to posting.  I need to do better. 

Thus, for the month of July, I am forging ahead and committing to post daily for the rest of the month.  Whether it is a simple picture, list of positive quotes, or random messages; I will share DAILY.  I promise myself this.

Here's what I did yesterday after I bought myself some fine point Sharpies.

Getting Back to Bliss

I've been in a funky mood since Sunday.  And I refuse to be in this mood tomorrow.   My energy is way off and I'm getting bad news left and right.  This must and shall cease! 

So to get this frustration and angst out of the way, I decided to write and draw as meditative practices.  I'm working on an art journal finally.  Stay tuned for those pics.  I wrote a long entry in one of my other journals which basically allowed me to pour out my soul and all my woes.  This has actually helped relieve some of my burden.  After that, I moved on to create these lovely pieces:

This is a starry night to remind me to go out an wish upon the stars. 

Dreams can come true. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

The green and the flowers tell me that I need to get grounded. 

I have not been connecting with my higher self. Being planted will sustain me.

Ultimately, I know what's needed to be done.  I am the only one accountable for my bliss.  It shall be done.

Blissful Creations

I joined the Creative Everyday Challenge a few weeks ago, but hadn't posted anything relating to the themes.  Well, yesterday was such an opportune time to experience bliss, which is the theme for June.  Yesterday's weather presented much rain, thunder, and lightning.  Though this may be disturbing to some people, I find such moments to be very very soothing.  When it rains, I look out the window and thank Mother Nature for replenishment and the gift of water.  The sound of the rain-slicked roads is like a lullaby to me and it brings peace.  With all this said, I was calm enough to create and get back to my life's purpose.  This was very much needed because my week was pretty sluggish. Being centered and calm is pure bliss.  Out of bliss came these lovely creations.
