I have a little sketching group on facebook called "Butler Sketch Collective." I originally created it so that a group of us could get together and do some urban sketching. We did it a few times, but me being the introvert it's been slow going. Right now we're doing a daily drawing challenge for the month of February. There's a prompt posted every day. It's fun! Here's the month so far.
My goal this year is to sketch or paint at least five days a week. For some reason it's a big challenge! You wouldn't think so since that's part of my job! LOL. A lot of days it's just business stuff, sewing or whatever. I have to super intentional about it or I won't at all. This has been great because it keeps me on my toes. Some days I REALLY don't want to and it shows. That's all right. Some drawing is better than non at all.

Work In Progress
This is my latest work in progress. Well, kinda. I've done several paintings since I started this one last spring, but they were all commission paintings. This is the latest one coming from my heart. I'm trying to get it finished before I have to buckle down for few more commissions. I'm also in the middle of redoing all my pouches. I aim to be ready with those by April-May. Now to think of a title. Any suggestions?
