No Sleep till Brooklyn!

Well not exactly but close. I had an interview in Brooklyn today which means I did not sleep most of last night. As much as I try I get very nervous before an interview which means no sleep the night before.

So most of yesterday and all of today was dedicated to preparing for the interview. I was glad to get some painting in yesterday, which was a much needed distraction. Today, however, no painting but I did get to sketch outside for a bit. The weather was very windy but warm and the sun felt so good. I said to my favorite little artist who was digging in the garden that we need the sun as much as the flowers do.

I normally don't share my sketches but since this is where my creative energies were spent today I have posted one. I am hoping to turn this one into an acrylic painting in the near future. It was inspired by the tree in my neighbor's front yard. I liked how the branches dipped and curved. This is in part because the tree is growing around the electrical wires.

Don't deny the creative part of yourself...it feeds your soul.
