first drawing,

I was sitting on top of the stairs in my house. I started sketching the stairs, stairrail, living room, closet and door.

It's an empty room with my shoes by the closet door. I guess, absent is the word. It's a nice drawing, but it's subtle references the feeling I have. I am looking downward, and reevaluating spaces I know. It's different now. The reason is I am on my own, and I want to recreate my world.
I've been walking a lot. The course I am enduring is rough. It's a little rocky, but I'll keep going. The reason is I never encountered anything that I haven't been able to move. In my own way, I am smart. My sense of humor is quick... and my drive is low, but I have a feeling that I will start to pick up the pace.
My goal is work on a painting through out this week.

This is a painting by Emily Wolfe,

Some of the artusts I have been looking at is Emily Wolfe and James Whistler. The both have a quiet observation. The colors are simple, elegant, and soft. There is a sense of containment, and feeling delicate. I want my work to reflect that because right now I am searching for spaces and new faces.
