'Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.'

Not sure I want to hear that...I need an excuse! I'm enjoying the texture of the sketchbook you're using at the moment...defiintely adds something. And I like the little touches of colour; is that where the ink has separated?

Yes, but it takes me so much longer to get anything done!
Wonderful thought - great little drawing. Thanks for posting it!

Anita Davies said...

LOL!
Dave the khadi paper may look interesting but I'm finding it a nightmare, I've had to change my approach ALOT to make this paper work for me. I don't think the size is helping much either, I imagine it would be more pleasurable on a much larger scale.
The hint of colour is a blue wash over black watercolour paint.

LOL! Yeah yeah Casey, I believe you....thousands wouldn't. ;)
Thanks for popping in and leaving your kind comment.

I wonder how many of the great names mentioned were mothers of a toddler, haha.

The pocket watch is beautifully drawn. Maybe you're not enjoying this paper size or surface, but the results you're getting are great.

I like the quote... but not the reminder ;)
I agree with E-J though... how many of them were mothers of small children? ;)

I agree - the drawing is lovely.

Wonderful quote - I must remember it!

Nina Johansson said...

What a wise thing to say... I think I actually need a reminder like that every now and then. Beautiful drawing, I like that metallic shine you´ve captured.

Yes, but us poor weak artists only get 12 hours a day - we go to bed at night!!!!! If anyone knows how to use every minute of their time in creation YOU DO. Did any of those listed run a home and family as well as become famous!!!! you will..... GREAT WATCH.

Serena Lewis said...

Ah, maybe so...but did they raise five kids alone in the fast-paced world of today? ;) I would definitely agree with Joan though...you certainly do utilise your time well. My time management skills leave a lot to be desired...lol

Great sketch, Anita!
