YES, I Can!!

I have been watercolor painting for three years and avoided drawing because I had convinced myself that I could not draw. Well, we will see. This blog is a way to chart my progress and encourage me to draw something every day. I am a member of EDM and have been lurking but I intend to start posting as of NOW!

Still Drawing and Thoughts on Journaling


I really must get better at journaling!  I have all kinds of thoughts running through this head of mine but I just don't put it down.  Christmas is this week and I think I'm all done with presents.  I'm hoping that some of my family comes to my house but everyone is waiting to get their work schedule.  I have baking enough cookies to feed an army so whoever comes can take some home. 


 This morning I am thinking about those people and things that I am grateful for.  My Husband, my family and my health come first.  My children and Grandchildren bring my great joy!  I am grateful that I am forgiven when I fail.  I am grateful for my warm, cozy home.  to be continued.....

Drawing with Watercolors

Brush Strokes
Drawing with Watercolor


 These are an excercise in drawing with just a paintbrush and watercolors.  It certainly did loosen me up.  I like my little people excercise.  I have always wanted to put people in my paintings to show motion.

Can She Draw? I Think She Can!!!

This is my attempt to Relearn to Draw. I used to doodle all of the time as a child and somehow, I convinced myself that I couldn't draw. Well, here goes!
