Pastels called to me to do a sketch for the Southwest Forum Monthly Challenge on wetcanvas for January which I am hosting. You know I don't much care for using photos as my only reference. Because these are my photos I have mental reference of where we were and what we were doing that day. That always makes painting easier, to paint what you know.
Hour Yearling
Pastel on MiTeintes Paper, 10 x 10 inches
It was good to play in the dust. It is another push to get back to painting.

I liked what she had to say about 2021. This was on her page:
ALL we have is this very moment. We don’t know what is going to happen in the next moment or hour, let alone the next year. We can’t control outside events BUT we can control how we handle them. Bad things may happen; however, we can choose to not let the BAD things overtake us. We can choose to make each and every moment the best that we can. Good Moments add up into Good Days. Good Days into Good Weeks. And 52 Good Weeks add up into a GOOD YEAR! -- Mikki SendarikI'm off to have a good day, hope you have a good one, too.

I'm glad you are playing in the dust. Your yearling is fun. Very colorful. I don't think 2020 was so bad. As we are seeing now, things can get worse.
Bag Blog, I like sketching with the pastels but I need to finish that big book, too. You are right 2021 is not looking great. So sad.
