The Progressing today (1/29/2014)
Starting in the morning
GOT MY ERASER!!
I got on a role and forgot to take a picture…. this one is well progressed
Thanks for seeing what’s new today!
This is what’s on my easel today 1/28/2014:
This is the drawing with the picture I’m working from with my preliminary sketch.
The trick is completing the drawing without white chalk. I have an electric eraser on it’s way to the house; pending that it doesn’t get caught up in this Georgia snow storm. I will continue to post the progress of this piece. This is day two of work, I hope to have it done to nearly completed by Feb 2nd
Next is my constant work in progress, “Skulls.” It’s all pencil so it’s taking forever!

Amazing. I know you will get where you want to go and I don’t think it will be a long trip.

I too am a nurse and at work right now googling…’nurse to artist” because I too want to be an artist. I have always wanted to be an artist, or as my family calls it, “struggling artist”. I am a Burn ICU RN and get some artistic satisfaction creating full body dressings for my patients; but, I just LOVE to draw! Three years ago I was on modified bedrest (prego) and it was wonderful! I just sat around drawing everything. The more I drew, the better I got. Now three years later, I am still longing for endless days of drawing time. I commend you for starting this blog. You have inspired me that it can be done!

I’m so happy you found my blog!
It’s hard to balance nursing, family and life with art. The best thing I ever did was find a community art class. I asked my nurse shift manager for every Wednesday off and I take my classes that day. At my first class I was the youngest one there by about 20 years! It was all retired people. They all told me they wish that they had taken classes earlier rather than waiting for retirement.
Keep drawing and good luck!
