Out of the gate running...

Well, it has not even been a week yet and I have managed to keep a schedule of doing something with either my drawing or photography each day.  On Monday, I did spend a lot of time cleaning and doing laundry..not very creative, but I have a hard time working in a cluttered environment.  I did spend 3 hours drawing with the tablet on the computer.  My results are cute but I am still out of practice with capturing exactly what I am going for.  I am also still learning how to use the tablet so the results would probably be mixed anyway.  I am happy that I am at least doing it and seeing some results that are favorable.  We went to Borders over the weekend and found a web design book that seemed reasonable for me to follow.  My task for this morning is to read at least one chapter and complete the exercises. I am going to try to do that every day on top of spending time either taking pictures or drawing each day.

It is a beautiful fall day out so I am torn about which to do today.  Originally I was planning on drawing so that I could make smoky corn chowder for tonight while I was home, but I am tempted to go outside and try to get some shots while the sun is still out.  The winters in Massachusetts can get quite grey and the pictures you get outside are not the best because there is not always good light to speak of.  I am attaching my link to Flickr, so that you can see some of the photos I have taken lately.  I attempted some night photos too, but my camera is finicky with those.  I have one in here that came out okay.  Jenny and I also photographed a wedding this weekend, which was awesome.  It was a Halloween theme, the details were so cute.  I was really happy with those pictures too.  Once I put together the website for that business, I will include the link so that you can see some of the pictures we have done.

I am already feeling healthier and happier just in the few days since I stopped working at BBH and started doing something that I really enjoy.  There is so much less stress.  I have slept just slightly more, but without the commute, I feel like I have a lot more energy.  Off to read about website design...have a great day!
