We heard this song today (Silver Bells) during carpool! I can’t believe how very soon it will be Christmas Day.

I’ve been using Christmas carols as my sketch starters lately, and I think this one is my favorite stanza of all time. We need to recognize its truth more than ever.

I’m trying to get back into the routine of drawing or painting each day — at least each work day. I guess the holidays aren’t necessarily the best time to begin or renew habits because our days tend to be prone to extra craziness this time of year. But, early decorating escapades around our house, the excitement of my children’s smiles, and some great wisdom I read during the Thanksgiving break from The Artisan Soul by Erwin McManus have me unusually motivated this week. ‘Tis the season to be jolly!

[My 11×14 sketchbook gives me a little room to work more on composition with some of my lettering practice — an area I think I needs work!]

A hurried drawing as my little ones are hankering to do some pasture walking. I love this hymn. It dates back to the 1500s, but translated to English in 1894.

I’m enjoying some Thanksgiving family time this week at the farm and getting back to my sketchbook.
