Quiet, well-lit, pleasant people, and Great Faces! Here are some of

Decisions ~ It’s always about making decisions.
I feel like Artwork helps me to exercise the ability to make decisions.
Especially when working at Parties ~ where there’s no time to 2nd guess myself, no time to think it over (which really means Not making a decision yet).

At Parties. In the Studio. And even in the Office. Like now.

Which photo to post ~
the one in which the subject is animated, but the photo is blurry?
Or the one in which the subject is posing, but the photo is clearer?

I usually choose the clear photo. Because I figure that Your eyes (my Dear Viewers) wouldn’t feel good if they just looked through pages and pages of blurry photos. I want you to feel good.

But this time……… to illustrate what I’ve learned about making decisions…………

People frequently pose and smile as soon as I take out the camera. I’m not a professional photographer ~ I feel like it’s much easier to put my reaction into a Drawing than a photograph,
but sometimes
I manage to capture personality in a photo too.

Decisions ~ How to make Decisions ~ How to Represent Yourself on Your Blog ~ What to emphasize in a Drawing ~ When to snap the Photo ~

Decisions ~ What to Draw first ~ How to interact with my subject ~ Which Marker to use ~ Which Color ~

Decisions ~ Where to send your Children to School ~ What to wear to the meeting ~
Decisions ~ Who to spend time with ~ How to spend your money ~ What to say ~

One of the best things about my job is that I meet the nicest people.
I see a small slice of time with them while I try to draw quickly,
yet I’m still blessed with a sincere connection, sincere hearts.

Here’s a picture of one of those families. The 2-year-old child, so interested in everything going on around him. The watchful parents, so calm and in charge. Seeing real people in real time, I can appreciate how difficult parenting can be. I’m interested in everybody - all kinds of personalities and faces. And I’m so grateful to be included even if for just these few moments.

I’m glad I have this blog. To have opportunity to
thank the beautiful people that I meet.
