coverI have been very busy so far this year. I completed the Brooklyn Art Library’s Sketchbook Project. It will be available digitally at their website and will be traveling around the country during the next year. The first event will be the Bookmobile at The Other Art Fair at the Brooklyn Expo Center in the beginning of May. I made a flip through video that I posted on Instagram, but I have not been able to get the video onto my blog. Look for me on Instagram @jeanette.clawson. Here are some photos of the process of completing my sketchbook.

I will soon be living in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, near the shore of Lake Michigan. I hope to be exhibiting and teaching again in the near future.  I hope you have some beauty and peace in your day.

It has been quite a year. I have not made as much art as I would have liked and I have had a lot of problems with my blog, but looking at my year in review I feel excited about what I have learned. I also feel a whole lot better after 207 medical appointments/procedures in 2018, including 5 hours in surgery. I hope next year is more productive and healthier, but here are my journal pages from 2018.

These are the pages I have already blogged about. And here is the rest of the year.

Thank you for stopping by. May your new year be full of peace and beauty.

completed ink

Mandala 53 of 100. This mandala contains 31 different Zentangle® patterns, one for each day of October. I was interrupted by health issues, but have now completed the ink portion of the mandala. Inktober was created by Jake Parker

“I created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve my inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.”

Laura Harms, from IamtheDiva, provides the list of tangle patterns that are suggested for the Zentangle® version of Inktober. She also provides videos of how to draw each pattern. Mine isn’t done yet. I plan to do some shading and probably add color, too. I greatly enjoyed this process and may do this again.
