I have finally started my new sketchbook/journal "Walking in my World" based on things I see when out for a walk and loosely inspired by Julia Cameron's Walking in this World: The Practical Art of Creativity
. I haven't really started the exercises in this book and guess I won't for awhile as a friend wants me to do The Artist's Way
with her, so that will come first. In the meantime though I will go with my interpretation of the title and sketch things I see when walking.
This week I had a lovely walk around a small island in the middle of the river. Lots of ideas for further pages! To start off, here is a Mother (Canada) Goose and her chicks walking in their world... for Sunday Sketches with Sophia at Blue Chair Diary.
