Another great day

I did my morning pages and busied myself around the house. Then I went to Hobby Lobby to browse with my 40% off coupon in hand. They are reorganizing the art department, so it was hard to really find everything. Finally, I bought some India Ink art pens that looked interesting. Although, I think I am too unsure of myself to try drawing in permanent ink yet. That said, I want to get to that point, because I like the look of ink under watercolor. It gives me something to which I can aspire!

On my way home, I went to the gym and worked out with an exercise ball, then I did about twenty minutes on the stationary bicycle. I am doing pretty good with my commitment to trying to get back into shape. I hope I can keep up the enthusiasm. I asked my husband to buy me a membership when I was certain I was going to turn in my notice at work. I used to be a gym rat before I started dating him. I want to get back to the point where I can swim for an hour straight. It used to be some of my best "thinking" time.

Anyway, when I got home, I pulled out the shoe I selected yesterday. I had no idea how hard it would be to draw a black suede shoe in pencil. But, that is the point of the challenges, right? To grow and develop. Interestingly, the shoe was one I wore while I was first dating my husband. I hardly ever put on high heels anymore. I prefer clogs, sandals and sneakers. Do I just think one of those would be easier to draw, because they are easier to wear? Maybe I need to experiment with that.
