...in the beginning

It is the last day of 2012. I am home alone and surprisingly really happy about that. I really didn't want to be social tonight. I got Barney Dog a nice big rawhide bone and having fun with one of the gifts which I got for Christmas. I received a pocket size water color sketchbook for Christmas along with some colored pencils. I haven't sketched or even doodled for years. Actually I have here and there but not with any consistency. I am feeling the need to start sketching as regularly as I did in my youth. I have actually always felt that urge but for some reason I never disciplined myself enough to keep at it. So now, here I am starting a very public blog which will force me (theoretically) to sketch with more regularity. My goal is to post 365 sketches and doodles by December 31, 2013. It is a challenge to myself and hopefully a fun journey for me and anyone who decides to follow along. I will add more writing as the year goes along and maybe a nice tangled web will be woven as you get to know me and I you through any comments you might be compelled to leave this year.
