Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better – Albert EinsteinOne of my all time favorite quotes!
Sometimes I just need to take a break from things to quiet the mind and focus ๐ฌon other stuff. So every so often I take a short break (at times it extends into longer than expected) – a break from social media ๐ต. Turn off all external noise and focus on all things not social media! This frees up quite a bit of timeโฑ. (Ever wonder how much โณ we spend on social media ๐!
During these times I “do more things that make me forget to check my ๐๐ฒโ๏ธ”
I take that extra time to read ๐(read stuff not on social media) ๐, or spend time looking, ๐really looking๐, and sketching ๐จin nature ๐ฟ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ , or take time to converse with family and friends๐ฃ๐ฅ(not just txt) ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Over the last four days I did just that. I finished two good books ๐ ๐. I did lots of sketches ๐๐and studies en plein air ๐โฐand quite a bit of gardening ๐๐๐พ- in the cooler๐ hoursโ๏ธ of the day of course !
I sketch and paint everyday regardless of whether I post or not. A lot of these sketches never see the light of day ๐ beyond my easel or sketch book. No matter, coz it’s the discipline that counts, right!
If you haven’t guessed it already today is #WorldEmojiDay. I rarely use emojis! So it’s quite a comeback from a break on social media, wouldn’t you say!
Happy World Emoji Day or ๐๐๐๐๐
Here’s my favorite brushstroke done @hirshhorn of Roy Lichtenstein’s brushstroke!
Tomorrow I’ll post the stuff I’ve been working on over my break! ๐ (interesting, that’s the emoji that came up for break- car brake! Hmmm)
