Portrait portrait of an older lady
in my art journal
I used gouache, watercolors, and craft & chalk paint for this portrait in my 9×9 inch art journal.
When it comes to staying young,
a mind-lift beats a face-lift any day.

What I’ve been reading:
Does anyone else feel like current events are too upsetting to do frivolous daily posting? – Reddit thread
I’ve been feeling the same way, especially about the incident in Lewiston, ME. Years ago, Lewiston was my home. My job at that time was working with deaf & autistic infants and children. When the news broke that the deaf community was targeted, I was absolutely gutted.
While that tragedy was going on, I found reading the replies in this thread helpful. Perhaps you will, also, if you’re struggling.
What I’ve been watching:
Make a Lovely Drawing of a Child – love her art & videos. Makes me miss oil pastels, so I’ll have to get back to drawing soon.
