Sad Fork

Thom York says 'Be constructive with your blues.' And so I shall.
I've been writing my boy over seas and drawing him 'I miss you' pictures.
Life takes funny turns sometimes, does it not? I know that many artists press
on an create despite what they feel. This artist shall pause and let herself
react to her circumstance and create from that. I hope you don't mind.

This picture! Ben and I always share dessert. I found myself eating apple crumb cake all by myself the other day. He needs to come home so I can be around him and also so I don't gain excessive weight.

Good Excuse

Dear Blog-readers,
Thanks for your patience. My blog hasn't been up to snuff lately. A while, in fact. I haven't been drawing. I've been making a greeting card company, which should initiate drawing, but I'm not doing a very good job of fun whimsically things to put up here.
My husband left to defend our country and all its interests and I'm left to ... keep busy? Wish time to go by? I dunno. I know that I've found a rarity in life- someone whose absence unhinges me. Part of the reason I've loved drawing is because it gives me a space and time to think. I find that as I await his return, I find myself not wanting to think about things a great deal. Lately when I pick up a pencil I put it down, as I don't want the mental space that a drawing would allot me.
Give me a week or two, please come back and check in!
