We are so privileged to have such a wonderful occupation.
How much fun is it to illustrate or create stories for children (and adults)
and spend our hours playing with the materials of our childhood; paint, pencils,
paper and all sorts of crafty bits and pieces? Thanks Giving is not something
we celebrate in Australia but regularly I thank God for the life I have, for
the gift of creativity and the comfort of a studio space to explore my craft.
Think about it for a minute: image after image magically
appears, creatively birthed into existence when once it was just blank paper or
canvas and paint or other media. Anything created to give Joy to others is something
to be celebrated but I am thankful that I get to enjoy the process of creation
as well as the result of it.

I am thankful for sketchbook journaling in between work. It is a great way to just have a
play.

This week I took some time off to enjoy journaling, not
fussing over perfection, application or expectations of another viewer. It is a collection of random scribbling and collected moments in time. I had a
totally indulgent play filling 3 pages and loved it. Sometime we forget why we started
illustrating in the first place – because it is FUN!
