I have been fascinated by these huge Elephant Ear plants. Their leaf shape and shading are so beautiful, even in shades of gray.
I love doing my watercolor, but I must do that at a desk. I use my all-purpose desk in my ‘office’ for painting. Sometimes this desk is covered up with other kinds of work and not enough hours to paint. So, we have made a cozy corner on our living room sofa, with an adjustable lamp and a lap pad for my graphite work. While we chat, listen to music, or watch a good show on TV, I curl up and sketch. These quiet moments, with my reference photo, a handful of pencils, an eraser, and a sketchbook are such a wonderful way to calm down after a busy day.
Do you have a good way to get calm at the end of your day? Do you allow your mind to scan your memories of the day and give thanks for the good ones and put the not so good ones in their place. You may need to repent for something, or forgive someone, or write an item on your to-do list for the next day. But mostly, let God restore your soul before you sleep.
