Crystal Heart Free Coloring Page

 A little Valentine's gift for you! 

I printed mine on 90# watercolor paper on my laser printer. 
But you can print on regular printer paper and use colored pencils or crayons or even shade in with a pencil.

In the Studio

 

Working on a still life of oranges.  I still have the darkest darks and highlights to add.  I also want to bump up the blues to be more of a brighter cobalt.

Life and Creative Integrity by Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes)

Great post from the people at Brain Pickings:

May 20, 1990: Advice on Life and Creative Integrity from Calvin and Hobbes Creator Bill Watterson


"Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential — as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth.
You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.
To invent your own life’s meaning is not easy, but it’s still allowed, and I think you’ll be happier for the trouble."
