When I was on a plane last week, I was reading Stephen Pressfield's new book Do the Work
(free on Kindle! Pressfield is great at helping with all the "resistance" that inhibits artists of any kind from producing well) and at one point I just felt compelled to stop and take out a pencil and start sketching.

All kinds of ideas flying my way. (As always double-clicking shows off pencil work better.)
I'm not sure what more I'm going to do with this but I suspect I will redo it in my journal and paint it. (I drew it in my travelling moleskine journal and I really don't like the paper quality.) And then I will likely write thoughts on it too.
Hope you all had a great few weeks of Sunday Sketches while I was away! Happy Mother's Day!!
Great sketch, love all light bulbs (ideas) around the girl.
