Here is my Sketch for the Day

Yes, Yes that is where I will be in the Garden today and probably every day this week.  I am working on some steps and clearing grass.  Back breaking work but then again I can't seem to get the yard help ( and yard help at a good price) to get this done.  Oh well no one could  do it the way that I want it anyway.  Seems everyone we have interviewed so far was wanting to do it their way.  You know that is the trouble even in art.  So many time I as an artist get an idea in my head as the way to do something or place something.  I have to get out of that box and make.  Always push my mind to see things and interrupt things differently.  That is the area that new concepts are born.  That is when things become fresh.  The trouble is that that takes time.  Looking for something that inspire your brain and get those creative juices flowing.  I am currently taking some hints from my man Deepak Chopra.  He suggest that with meditation you should get out into nature for at least an hour every day and that is just what I have been trying to do.  Get out stretch and move about look at things as if it was the first time that I am looking at them.  Slowing my mind down. (Wow that was a tough thing)  I am usually so fast thinking that it is hard for even myself to keep up.  But that is what it takes.  I find when I just slow my thoughts and live in the moment more creative ideas come to me.  It is a very tough exercise but I can say that it works.  I also take time to be thankful for small things like a cupa tea, or my children, dogs, cats.  What ever I surround myself with that makes my life rich.    So today I am just going to go out and be in the moment and remove the grass.  Ha Ha.  Check out my "My world" photographs on flicker if you want to see more through my eyes on my discoveries of my own world.
