In the groove


Just finishing up a project deadline. Some of the pieces had lots of detail that I had not factored in, and took longer to complete. Physical side effects (that I can share!) of sitting at a drawing board for hours sometimes include swollen hands and feet. I must remember to take more breaks! But once I start painting, the illustrations start talking to me....and it's hard to leave. So this morning, I pumped my blood around with a good long bike ride and enjoyed the smells of early fall, bakery smells, street sounds, kids on their way to school...

I know what you mean about sitting too long- I set a timer, when I think of it- for 45 minutes and then go put the dishes away or move the laundry along!

Hey-haven't thought of an actual timer! You know how absorbed you can get; it's hard to remember to get up. Sso that would be a good check. Thanks!
