Keeping a Sketchbook

I keep two sketchbooks.
One is for ideas for painting.
The second is one I use to write poetry and doodle a related picture.

I write the haiku and then draw.
These coloured pencil drawings are not meant for me to make paintings from, but do serve to help me meditate.


This is a very special bistro set bought for me by a dear friend in Texas, so its the ideal place to sit back and meditate. 

The coloured pencil wrap was also a present from the same friend, beautifully hand crafted by Tonya at Hillbilly Handiworks, HERE

When the haiku is written and the drawing complete, I sit back and ponder..

Here are a couple of snippets for you to see:

and the haiku :

Silent as the stone
Sit with me in peacefulness
Drinking in the sun.

I hope you've enjoyed this peek into my meditative sketchbook.
