My art is taking a backseat while I coordinate this move, and that&#8217;s ok because this whole process gives my creativity plenty of exercise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I need to do less so that I can do more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m taking this time to change a few other things too. I&#8217;ve turned off drawing class registrations until Autumn, closed my online drawing club, and designed a new look for this site that I&#8217;m working on bringing online between packing and toting sessions. If you&#8217;re a creative, you <em>know<\/em> how difficult it is to let go of projects and I really struggled with these decisions.

Although I miss having time to make my art and write about drawing, I&#8217;ll get back to it with re-focused energy after we&#8217;re re-rooted in our new home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To All My Friends From The Drawing Club<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I miss you all very much and I hope our pencils cross again someday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a fork in the river comes along, sometimes you&#8217;ve just got to point your boat at it and see where it takes you.
