I was at McGinley’s for the Irish Session on Sunday and I began to sketch the musicians in the pocket journal that I keep in my purse at all times. I gave myself permission to draw whatever I was inspired to draw and this is what happened. I did the drawing below a quote I had entered earlier that I had seen painted on the wall of the ear, nose, and throat doctor (Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.).

What it shows me is that I am on the right track in my thoughts about Assignment 3.

I wish to become part of and express artistically a particular moment in a particular place. This moment includes the quality and characteristics of the day in the world of nature– beneath and upon the earth and its atmosphere and even into the heavens. The sunflower is the one in Anda’s garden in the front yard, which is where I also saw the dragonflies on that day. I did not expect the night sky with stars to come in. But, indeed, it is now dark at night, and the stars are visible! My daily discipline includes observing sunrise, solar noon, and sunset, and this popped up as well.
