Quickly sketching a small messy and cluttered shelf before I go in and tidy it up.

I find it relaxing to do this, it takes me out of my head and places me in the present moment. I’m trying to practice relative size (which I’m getting better at) and accurately recording perspective (which I’m still so abysmal at I’m wondering if I should take a class, lol!).

Jaime and I had our regular brunch today and as usual I added to the "brunch book", a homemade sketchbook where I sketch a page while we talk. Today it was the french press on my table holding our first pot of tea. Haven't painted this yet, she just left and I'm trying to decide on colors.

Highly recommend getting into a regular social habit with a friend if you can manage it. It REALLY helps the despair.

I've gone a different direction for today's art journal page, and I'm sure this isn't done, it's just all I've done so far...

Remembering that sometimes, it's less about perfect process and more about piecing things together for yourself. Sometimes a glue stick and a magazine will help you figure it out.
