Advice For Me and Trees




I've kept a sketchbook since about 1994 and find it useful to put in quotes that help to inspire and motivate me. It's interesting for me to go back to older sketchbooks and find snippets that I'd written that still ring true today. I'm sure I repeat the same kind of advice over and over but it sometimes takes that long for it to sink in. Here's today's page.

I love to peep into other peoples sketch books.
Your trees are pretty and the advice and reminders are good. :)
Thanks for reminding me to keep up my sketch book as I can let it slip sometimes.

Loved reading your sketch book Jessie. You know it is truly amazing about the love for trees. Plus they hold singing birds in them. Dreamy!
love you cat, really is a character.
I seem to have a problem with cats. I keep trying to paint some, but never satisfied and end up scraping them.
Which goes to what you written in your journal. The words really hit home and you are so right. No matter how old we get, we still need encouragement.
Do you go onto Silke's blog?
Silke has an art friend who told her to keep ruining her art until she is happy with it.
Much better written on her blog http://silkepowers.blogspot.com/

Have a great week!
Hugs!

Hi Julie, I have trouble with cats too, I envy people who have a cat around their house that they can copy from life! Thanks so much for your kind words and for the link to Silke's blog. I shall go and pay a visit! :)
