I’m back after a five-week break from blogging.
It’s been a strange month. It started with a two week trip to Chicago with only 24 hours’ notice, then my workload became heavier and heavier and finally a pair of Internet providers conspired to disconnect us for two weeks.

Work is eating into the time I have available for drawing, painting and blogging. I've decided to focus the time I have available on sketching the things around me. This post contains my favourite sketches from August.

I've released how important drawing and sketching is to my feelings of happiness and well-being. Thirty minutes of intense concentration quietens the mind and shuts out all other concerns.

I never used to find drawing relaxing because I was trying to draw well. Now I just set an alarm for 30 minutes and see what happens.
