Egg Beater, Tuesday, March 31, 2009


This is a little Egg Beater in the kitchen that the kids play with. It is more for decoration then actually utility. I did this with gel pens on black paper.

Garden Shovel, March 30, 2009


I keep wondering if I should attempt a garden again this year. I forgot to water it most of the time last year and it bore flowers but no vegetables. I drew the garden shovel instead. It went off the page, maybe that is a sign that it wants to be used.

Bursting Heart, Sunday, March 29, 2009


I had this image that I have boxed up my heart after being wounded by the last person I dated and it is trying to burst out. It has been successful at getting out here and there with my sexuality and with being a woman, but I have been still keeping it behind bars and boxing it up most of the time. I think the fear that I talked about in an earlier blog has a lot to do with the fact that I am trying to hide away and protect myself. So as I branch out in my art and as a woman and try to conquer down my fears, I will try to let my heart out of this box.

Delicate Flower, Saturday, March 28, 2009


God has been talking to me about being a delicate flower and taking care of myself. I had this vision of myself as a purple flower surround by rocks and gravel. Here it is 4X6 watercolor

Black and White Cat, Tuesday, March 24, 2009


I usually come home and clean the kitchen. I am thinking of coming home and doing a sketch. Today I came home and drew this cat. Had some issues with the head, but it was fun with the gel pen.

Chimenya, Monday, March 23, 2009


I realized as I was thinking about drawing yesterday that I have been living out of a lot of fear lately. Fear of my body doing wacky things. Fear of eating the wrong thing. Fear of living. Fear of dieing. Fear of losing weight. Fear of not losing wight. Fear of being noticed. Fear of not being noticed. Fear of painting. Fear of drawing. Fear of using someone elses computer or asking even though they have told me I could. So I decided to draw this yesterday and reinstitute this blog. I am going to be gone some this week so I am going to post some things I have done over the past several weeks that I have not posted. But I am going to choice to fight for my life and me and my art. So here goes.
