OH no! I lost the writing that went with this post. It was about living in the present. I gotta go now…Next time.

Ireland the Journey Begins
I first began sketching in July of 2010. Equipped with a sketched and some General’s Charcoal pencils that I bought as a set for less than $ 3.00 from Big Lots, I had no idea the fire I was about to light.
At the Modern Irish Art Museum I was inspired by an 3 paneled Ink painting. It’s many perspectives kept me mesmerized. I spent hours going through the museum witha new appreciation for the artists and even more for fine art

A note from the artist (update)
I began keeping a Sketch journal in 2010, while traveling in Ireland. The mystic of sitting behind a sketch pad had its own thrill but nothing compared to the rush I got as I watched my drawings reveal themselves. Since that discovery, I traded in journals for sketchbooks, and take them everywhere.
Thank you for stopping by. It is a pleasure to share my sketchbooks.
Each sketch/journal represents a journey for me. You may see glimpses of devotional writing, prayer journaling or other notes on some of my pages. I am ok with that because the truth is I written words are relatively safe because words are filtered through my thoughts. My sketches on the other hand, have no such filter and represent a greater risk in sharing. 
But sharing this art is worth the risk!
The drawings (sometimes the most random and aesthetically dull) have given encouragement and spiritual revelation to many. I have found that drawings I have sketched during times of worship, study and meditation can be a great source of encouragement and affirmation. The truths they have revealed to those in need is such a blessing!
Powerful! “Prophetic Art”? Why not? It is beyond me how someone can look at one of my drawings, turn it sideways or upside-down and find their own personal answers. One person who was blessed by one of my sketches told me. “God is funny, it’s like He (God) was saying ‘ you get it Here, let me draw you a picture!'”
This journey continued into fine art. You can view my Gallery and read about my journey as a fine artist at http://www.drawn2hymn.wordpress.com
I pray you are blessed by something you see on my web sites. I appreciate your feedback.
Blessings to you,
