The year 2015 had lessons to learn – and 2016 is about getting back on track.

I’m looking forward to the future with open eyes and an open heart . I’ve moved into a new home, with new resolutions, ready to take on anything! Every day is another opportunity to push yourself – to become a better you.

The past month  I’ve had some time to make more sketches… and started a book club with 3 girlfriends. All from the Valley, we love to read and started the club off with Brooklyn by Colm Toibin.  I just finished I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and thought it’d be cool to draw just her eyes because she was a woman with so much soul..

I drew Steve Harvey after his hilarious fail on National television. His face is too good not to draw!

Amy Winehouse sketch

Malala is still a work in progress….

This sketch is part of a series I’m creating…

I’ll keep posting new work since one of my resolutions is to keep this blog updated with new work, artists who inspire me, trips I take, and Beauty/Fashion ideas I can’t help but share. Thanks for checking out my blog and come back tomorrow for Makeup Monday!

2016 Reminders:

• Pay it forward.
• You get what you give.
• Work on your craft everyday.
• Keep organized and throw out the junk.
• Stay humble.
• Try new things.
• Stay true to yourself.
• Keep a strong relationship with God.
• Do more, say less.
• Forgive but don’t forget.
• Take care of the temple you call your body!

Also, it’s my birthday month! I’m embracing 29 with a kick-ass attitude.

The year of PAU.
