Pastel and Colored Pencil, 2.5&#8243; x 3.5&#8243; ACEO

I love drawing roses. With this fantasy piece, I explored the unusual design of Damask Roses, in a luscious cherry-popsicle color.

I&#8217;ve had an interesting day.  My synesthesia has been giving me troubles.

Distractions.  You know what they are? A mar on a panorama.
A panorama of productivity, aglow with embers of ideas that are fanned into a flame by motivation.  It can be a beautiful sight&#8212;unless our attention is diverted elsewhere.  Then our motivation evaporates till there&#8217;s nothing left of it.  No trace, not [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Media Workshop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

&#160;
I used to enjoy spending time on the weekends watching &#8220;The New Yankee Workshop&#8221; with my Dad, who is a craftsman.  Today I had an opportunity to see a live broadcast that reminded me of those happy memories.  Except here, it&#8217;s more than woodworking&#8212;it&#8217;s also a friend bringing the social media community together [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going the Extra Mile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

&#160;
I was feeling a bit burned out one Sunday.  On an impulse, I decided to visit a local nursery.  I had never been there before, even though I had seen its gates from the road many times.  I thought that maybe a little touch with nature would offer the renewal I needed.

		<title>A Good Fit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;

&#160;
I recently created a new home office area.  I had exactly six feet by five feet of space to work with. It has to function for both the writing and the artistic sides of my work&#8212;and everything has to fit.
Some of the items I had on hand; others, I&#8217;ve been collecting for this purpose. [...]]]></description>

Blogger Liz Strauss has invited her readers to participate in an intriguing challenge: Put 25 words of advice or wisdom in a blog post.  Having just come off a challenge to write 50 thousand words, I thought I could manage twenty-five.  Twenty-five words is easy.
