Old Penang door

Today is day 300. It is a massively important milestone for me.

When I started out on this journey, I didn’t think I could even pass week one, it was so excruciatingly painful to sit down everyday to draw.

It all started because I had reached a low point in my life. My friend invited me to go traveling with her to France and that is how I met Marianna.  I met her in Provence where I spent 3 weeks staying at her lovely home. We bonded immediately and eventually she set me this challenge as a way to help me. She herself is an artist and she did a sketch a day challenge which she said helped her tremendously. Check out her website here www.FloatingLemons.com

I’m about a month behind schedule since I took some time out from my sketching in Dec and when my mum passed away last month. This challenge is the only thing that has kept me sane throughout the year and is the only constant in my life. I have traveled 8 countries with my sketch a day and I am proud to say that I still manage to post them up despite dodgy wifi at times.

I cannot thank you, my readers enough for the constant support and encouragement. I know I have said this before and I am repeating myself, but that is how much it means to me. The sketch a day has not only given me focus but it has allowed me to make friends online.

I am going through a really difficult time emotionally right now but my sketches and you, my readers keep me going.

THANK YOU XX
