Do you feel that? Take a nice big breath in slowly and let it out even slower. Yes, it's time for Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesday's. Oh, how I have missed you!
Mr. Toast, I hope you had the most amazing holiday season, love! Thank you for all you do to host this community and give me this reason to connect with my creative side and sketch pad. I'm not sure I would do it without your gentle nudge.
Today's theme... New Year. Also known as (for me)... open slate.
I did my best to clear my mind and just let that wonderful open-clean slate wash over me and exit through the watercolor pencils.
All that hope, promise, dreams, determination, and confidence on what can be. And what will be!
I've very proud of this one! Feels like a great start to the year... a great sign of what's to come... a chance that this could be a great year for stretching and strengthening creative muscles!
Who's with me!?!!
And in keeping with my normal show of process... here is what my desk looked like toward the end of the drawing.
It's just not a proper doodle for me unless I make a big fuss (mess) all over! And yes, it's important to dump all the pencils out of the box in order to be sure you find just the right shade of green *wink*
This is going to be a fun year!

Follow your Dreams
"Some people follow their dreams, others hunt them down and beat them mercilessly into submission."
--Neil Kendall
This quote hit my email box this morning from the Runner's World Quote of the Day. Man this is ringing true with me right now! Happy Wednesday!

Creative Tuesday: Birthday
Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesday's are one of my favorite self imposed assignments.
It helps me force an artistic object or two into my paws (regularly) and just begs to find out what can come of it!
This week's theme is "Birthday!" And this week's medium big fat scented markers!
Happy Un-Birthday to you!
This theme made me think back to my thirteenth birthday for some reason. I was thinking about all the feelings of the moment and how hopeful I was looking to the future.
I am still very hopeful, but more content with how things already are.
Cheers to all your dreams coming true with every candle you blow out!
And won't you check out all my fellow artists here!
