I"m Backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I know I've been away from my blog for about a month. Here are some Sktchy Folks I drew while not blogging ...







 
I also draw my husband at Barnes & Noble Café!


And other folks there too.


And I still draw several mornings a week at Starbucks.


I loaded these drawings a while ago, a month ago? But never posted them. Now I will. I've gotten busy in other areas of my life and blogging has definitely taken a back seat. For one I have decided to retire from my 36 year career as a counselor (ten years as a Biofeedback counselor/trainer and 26 years as a licensed Marriage, Family Therapist). It's been a wonderful time in my life and the decision to stop has been an emotional one, with lots of changing of my mind over the past two plus years.
But now I am sure and I will be saying good bye to a handful of clients (about a dozen) and emptying my office completely by September 1st. At age 76 I want to devote 100% of my time to making art and playing. It's time.
 
I'll continue to go to Starbucks to draw.
 

I've also made a return to quilting. I am on #5. My eldest grandson has traveled extensively and brought home fabrics from many different countries. He asked me if I could turn them into a quilt for him and that has become quite the project.
It's a large one so it is taking a slow paced but steady paced job.
I plan to continue working in fabric art again too.


I'll enjoy more time with my husband. He's the one on the right!


And I'll continue to meet new people whereever I go. I'm excited to see what new adventures open up for me as I step through this door to this new part of my life.

In the meantime, enjoy yours and your art making. Thanks for coming by to see mine. Happy Paint Party Friday too.
