Today we are just about halfway through the month and halfway through the Daily Drawing Challenge. Below I share the drawings I have created in response to the prompts as well as those that have flowed from and alongside them. I’ve had days when drawing has been easy and days when its been frustrating and felt like a chore. But I’ve been glad for every one of those experiences. Perhaps the key is to accept the ups and downs, the variable energy or motivation? We can show up grumpy! Any time you need it I officially give you permission to ignore that day’s prompt and replace it with ‘GRUMPY TREE’ instead :-)

Thank you for joining me on this little adventure. The response to the challenge and prompts has been incredible. I really hope it is helping you enjoy the trees around you in your part of the world, as well as lots of creative play. Here’s to another 2 weeks of making time to connect creatively. In the Northern Hemisphere we will be experiencing the shortest daylight hours of the year. I hope the prompts will bring a bit of light on December’s darker days…
