It's time for yet another wonderful Sunday Sketches. I'm posting this a little early for a few reasons, but I'm sure you won't mind.
This afternoon was spent at a local bookstore listening to an online show while painting away. I managed to squeeze in a few little pieces and am pleased with the results. Nothing terribly exciting but ones where I continue to challenge myself to paint first then add the lines later. I'm actually liking this process better and finding it eliminates alot of unnecessary expectations.
While there, I managed to inspire an elderly lady walking by to begin painting again. Aww. She shared with me a little of her story and why she put down her brush years ago. Smiling here and praying she'll find the same joy that I've found these past few weeks in allowing art to heal my heart.
Happy SS! Looking forward to visiting everyone. :)
