What I wouldn't give to have a reference in front of me right now and all the time in the word to create something. I don't know why I can't just stop time and carve out a little section for me, a little tiny crevice so that I can float free with my dreams and charcoal lines.

I love setting up my space before I start an art project. I love setting out my board, the tape, the pencils and erasers. I love going through my pastels separating them by flesh tone, hair tone and background. It is a lovely ritual before I start a creation. I wish I had time to finish this. I wish I made more time for my art.
