A Face a Day

Time is going by so fast. Already I'm 60 years old. I watched a TV show the other day where one character asks his friend, "when you were 10 years old is this what you imagined you would be doing with your life?" I asked myself the same question. Then I had to ask where I actually would have imagined myself to be when I was 60. The only sure answer was that I'd probably be a grandma and be an artist. 

Well, I got one of those right. I have 10 wonderful grandchildren. I wouldn't call myself a true artist though. I feel an artist is someone who spends time and hones her craft. I have been doing practically nothing with my art. I actually avoid it. Does this mean I'm not an artist? 

I decided to try to answer that question by drawing a face a day and seeing if I could get to the point I felt comfortable calling myself an artist. I tend to start a project and then get distracted and move on to something else. Hopefully by posting my drawings I'll have some sort of accountability (even though no one else is probably watching. This is for me.)

Here's my first attempt. It's a sketch taken from the cover of the Liahona magazine (Feb. 2013)
