Media: Pen & Ink with an old Esterbrook on Moleskine Cahier Cover

N.F.S. but you can buy a print.

Other: Months ago, as in months and months ago, I got some Moleskine cahiers with kraft paper coloured covers. They simply beg to be drawn on themselves even before you get to the pages inside.

And, quite honestly I'd been stalled out when it came to making art and facing those blank pages wasn't helping me any even after I laid down the challenge of drawing something for 40 consecutive days. It's part of my way of observing Lent. Religious purists might point out that I'm missing the point of Lent which is alms giving, fasting and prayer.

Too bad for them. The good-God knows my heart and my heart says draw!

Looking good Owen - Typepad didn't like my one word comment yesterday and passed it to your trash... so today I have more words! Glad to see you back!

Two things:

1. I told you so :)

2. You know, these sketches seem both familiar (I see your style in the shapes) and unfamiliar. I really like them. It was worth the wait :)

I'm so glad that your heart says DRAW! Thank you so very much for my the beautiful gift you sent me. I love what you wrote on the back of the envelope too! I will long treasure your kindness.

God Bless you and yours, all good to you!
