I am back. Again.

I am back. Again. Or am I??

 

So, it has been a long break again. I had taken a two week break, and couple of weeks on either side were spent in preparing/settling. And then the usual challenge of starting to write again .....  I'll keep my fingers crossed on the duration of this burst of activity :-)

Other than the vacation which was spent visiting family back in north, there was one significant development in this while.

A friend added me to a group on Facebook, called "Every Day in May" (EDiM). The group had defined a list of things to draw for each day of the month, and the objective of the members was to draw the subject chosen for that day. It is not a competition, just a challenge (and its not even mandatory to post everyday), but just do it, for the joy of it.

My friend had added me midway through, but when I looked at the amazing work done by the people in the group. I was inspired (even though I cant do tenth as well as most people there) - to draw again after a gap of four years.

I no longer had any drawing equipment - whatever little remained of the few things I had, have been "misappropriated" by Sid :-) But, I was inspired enough to draw, even if it was simple sketching, using just a regular pencil on printer paper.

In fact, I was inspired enough to join "Every Day in June" challenge when May ended, and also to buy some new books, paint and brushes this weekend.
