Finally did something in traditional media. I’ve been using this picture as my profile picture on multiple sites for a while. It’s just a blown out black and white photo taken of me like 8 years ago. I was updating a couple of sites I belong to and I kept seeing this picture, so I decided to draw it!

I remember being a little girl and spending hours admiring the way the sun filtered through a window and danced on the walls or the wood floors. I’d trace the shadows with my finger and I’d sway with the shadows of the trees.

There was this huge sycamore tree next to my bedroom window in the house I grew up in. The sun would set behind it and peak through all the leaves, creating a brilliant show of fluttering shadows on my walls. It didn’t matter what I was doing, I had to run up to my room when I could see the sun was setting. I had to be there for that magical half hour or so every night.

Living in a high-rise building in NYC, I don’t get shadows of the leaves on my walls anymore. This picture is from my parents’ apartment. I was hanging out there and got a headache, so my mom said I should lie down. I took a little nap and when I woke up, I saw the way the hedges on the terrace were casting shadows on the window and it just brought me back to my childhood.

Also, today makes TWO MONTHS that I’ve done an entry a day! What a challenge and adventure. It’s been mostly photographs for a while now as I juggle a million things and find it easier to use photography since I can do it all on my phone while on the go. I’ve enjoyed the challenge of trying to find things to photograph that might be interesting. It’s even more of a challenge than drawing or doing something similar. I’ve enjoyed each and every day so far and hope I can continue this for much longer!

Woke up to snow this morning and it continued into the afternoon. It looked like 4 or 5 inches. As much as I adore snow, I’m looking forward to some warmer weather. Tillie and Lucy (my dogs) thoroughly enjoyed playing in the snow, though!

Most people don’t even think of it, but the supermarket is an artist’s playground. So many colors and textures. Millions of inspirations, from the stand full of lemons to the counter full of meats. I’d like to set up a little easel in the produce section and spend my day painting mountains of broccoli and fields of spinach.
