Learning to See and Draw

I'm almost starting to feel like an artist. I ordered a "Learn to Draw" homestudy set from Mission: Renaisance. This is an amazing program. The lessons are broken into small baby-steps that make the learning fast and easy. I can hardly believe the progress I am making already and I've only had the program since March 6th! I finally have hope that someday I will have the skill to set free some of the drawings and paintings I have inside me. This world is a grand place and there is a marvelous hope and potential for all of us. These are things I long to express visually. I may never be famous to anyone outside my family, but if I can use my talent to help their world be a better place, that suits me just fine.

With Hot Stuff in Asia for the next 10 days, I should have plenty of opportunities to work on my drawing and avoid culinary temptation (meaning restaurants on dates with DH). I'm going to be positively svelte by the time we go to San Diego (where I will get to navigate a whole mine-field of restraunts - yikes!). Good thing the hotel room has a kitchen. At least I will be able to cook some vegetables there.
