There is really no good excuse for my absence, except time. I spend 30 hours a week on school work. But I am doing very well! I am hoping now that the summer is over that I will have more time to pursue my first passion, art! Sorra and Hunter are also keeping me very busy. Sorra is now three and Hunter is 21 months. I spend much of my time teaching them the basics of art. I also have been teaching art to my niece and nephew once per week. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, so I have now decided to pursue my Master's in Adult teaching after I complete my bachelor's.
A quick sketch of Sorra taking a nap before I get dinner ready. I haven't used my pencils in awhile and have been missing them.
I'd been staring at the laptop all day doing homework, so I decided I would sketch the scene I was looking at. I drew it too large and had to tape more paper on. I do this often. I realize that I need to continue sketches such as this because my perspective muscle is weak. I need more practice, but I am proud that I got something down on paper. 
Another quick sketch while making dinner. Trying to squeeze any minute I can between the family and school. Not perfect, but it's something on paper, which pleases me.
I haven't been posting because my scanner/printer was broke. Thankfully I have a protection plan on it, because as I found out the cause of the problem on Sunday. My little monsters stuck a small candy wrapper in my printer so the paper would not feed and would become jammed. My husband and I got a great chuckle because the repair was free. Yesterday I found a minute between school and dinner to sketch this enormous pile of laundry I needed to fold. I had more fun sketching it than folding it.
I need a pair of stilettos. It's my new years resolution for 2009. I can wear heals, but not stilletos. I think if I wear stilletos, even in my grubby-mom clothes, I will feel business-like and be motivated to get more done. We'll see;-)!
