Due to the miraculous suggestions I received from you, my dear readers of this blog, I found the time, energy and inspiration to clean up my desk and studio before beginning my next project. My husband is going to think he returned to the wrong house in the suburb when he returns from work. He will not recognize me or my studio. The studio is clean. Trader Joes Sage cleaning spray supplied the wafting odor of sage and I am calm and in a Zen like mood. According to my internet research, the odor of sage may help with mental fatigue and clarity.

If you study my desk carefully you'll see I have only materials for my project on my desk with the exception of the white stone stick. The stick has nothing to do with the ink drawings I am about to embark on. It is a wand made from selenite given to me by my daughter. A well placed selenite wand is said to ward off negative energy and the last thing I want in my office/studio is negative vibes.

I may have mentioned before that I am now studying all avenues that will improve my artwork and teaching career. Hopefully now that I am able to find my art supplies and not create in a chaotic environment I will be more successful. I guess I'd better sit down and draw now...

The photo of the beagle provides inspiration for me when I am working.
