No Time Like the Present

Time passes so quickly, like it or not. But truly, we only have this present moment in which to really experience life. How I live this minute is what counts. What I choose to use this current moment for is what is important. Do I always remember this? Absolutely not! But looking back at the past 2 months,  I am astounded at what using 20 minutes or so daily to create a woman has done for me.

First, I have established a new habit. My day doesn't feel complete if I don't draw. And, believe me, I have never been one to draw. Second, I have created a body of work that I can use for future projects. And third, I have made some improvement with this daily practice.

So here are this week's ladies:

Copied from magazine ad - pencil and pen

Pencil and pen

Pencil and pen

I worked on this one at the studio during Art Walk last Friday night. Collaged purchased paper,  sheet music, iron-on inkjet photo transfer, packing tape transfer of a book page and acrylic paint.

Same as above with the addition of stenciled birds, more acrylic paint and china marker wax pencil.

Ball point pen and roller ball pen.

Time will continue to fly by. That is a given. But by simply snatching 20 minutes or so from your present, you could be making a new habit. Or making a simple change. Or making an improvement in a current habit. Two months from now you could be looking back at a new body of work. There is no time BUT the present. 

And I'll be here cheering for you. Really. Because I love you. Bunches.
