The watercolors are still progressing, but I've been helping a few quilting ladies by rendering some patterns in the meantime. A new quilt project will involve some storybook-type illustrations featuring children at play —  lot more up my alley.

My time seems so divided between my family, the workplace, the university and ... last, but certainly not least, the drawing board. I realize a lot of artists out there are finding ways to stay focused on the tasks at hand, but the real difficulty for me is something I learned from watching our excellent realtor awhile back. No matter how many things she was juggling at once, she somehow managed to always make us feel we were her number one priority.

I'm striving to keep that kind of focus right now in each "juggling area." There is a Friend with me at all times whose voice offers direction and encouragement ....if I can be quiet enough to hear it.

Come to think of it, He set an example too, of always giving his full attention to whatever needed to be done. Healing, feeding, teaching, even finding lost sheep.

He also managed to spend some quality time with children around. — lec
