Visual Art is a beautiful language using the elements and principles of art. As a painter and art instructor for many years, I also enjoy writing, nature, family and friends. The world of art is fun, challenging, exhausting and renewing all at the same time! Please note, I am no longer using paypal. I'm in the process of removing paypal buttons.

The Value of Sketchbooks
After a long, trying (and tiring day), working in a sketchbook - for no final outcome - just for therapy can be just the thing that brings balance back again. This past week, I've had such a day. In the evening, I had nothing left - and my mind was not settled. So... quiet music, a pen, a sketchbook, and a photo from which to work ~ and balance was found. (A good night's sleep also helped!)
Using a sketchbook has so many benefits. It is a place for visual journaling. It is a place to write and draw, to work out compositions, to just think in a more visual way. It's not something that will likely be shared or seen, but that's not the purpose! The purpose is personal.
Grab your sketchbook! Let it help you bring balance back into the day! It's good therapy!
