The Key To Motivation

"Desire is the key to motivation,
but it's determination and commitment
to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal
- a commitment to excellence -
that will enable you to attain
the success you seek."

During the summer of 2019, I drew everyday. Once you make it a habit, it's a breeze.
You can see all 92 drawings and paintings that were created and posted here.

And at the beginning of September, signed up for another challenge for the next 30 days.
It's called the 30 Day Creative Gathering hosted by Sheila Delgado.

Be Active, Energetic And Faithful

"When you do a thing,
do it with all your might.
Put your whole soul into it.
Stamp it with your own personality. 
Be active, be energetic and faithful,
and you will accomplish your goals."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

#DrawingEveryday • 8-31-19 • Watercolor Sketch on Cotton Rag

The whole summer of sketching every day 2019 has passed. For 92 days,
from June 1st - August 31st, I drew and painted as part of my daily routine. 
The benefits are immense. The skills of seeing and hand-eye coordination are
developed and refined by daily practice, in my opinion, like no other can.
See my daily attempts in reverse (blog) format on SketchingEveryday.com

"Among all the accomplishments of life,
none are so important as refinement;
it is not, like beauty, a gift of Nature,
and can only be acquired
by cultivation and practice."
~ James Ellis
