I think I’ll always associate this quote with Robin Williams because of how inspiring it was in the movie, Dead Poets Society. Since this day is all we have and we will never get it back, let’s make the most of it!

Freehand lettering is sometimes a work in progress. I drew light pencil top & bottom guidelines, and I did a little more photoshop work on this one. Mainly, the sizing of “seize the day” was off and I didn’t have room for all the letters on the painting. So, I fixed that a bit before posting — just a little behind-the-scenes confession 🙂

Good morning, Monday! I’m getting started with a new adventure for the Fall this morning. I’ve been wanting to experiment with more watercolor lettering, both freehand and more tailored, so I’m trying to add that to my morning routine. I’m calling it “Morning Letters,” and I hope to share some of the adventure (and to hold myself accountable for this new discipline).

We started school last week, and my first-grader has been telling me that she gets to draw and color before they begin morning work each day. What a concept! I know in my own routine, just doing something with my hands to put marks on a page seems to jumpstart my creativity and get my brain thinking about possibilities.  So, here goes!
