I was not all surprised to find out - via my fitness tracker - that I slept a total of 3 hours and 53 minutes last night just as Daylight Savings Time began here in California. Already operating with a sleep deficit - I’m one of those folks who regularly wakes up several times during the night - I was really feeling that lost hour. But I was able to “spring forward” and go to early Mass - I was the lector - with prayer and massive infusions of caffeinated beverages. Still somewhat alert I was able to draw this self-portrait after returning home.

This portrait for the #SelfPortraitSundays art group on Facebook came about over a couple of days in a sketchbook I started last year but hadn’t finished. Lots of layering was involved which was very relaxing. Tools: #StrathmoreSketchbook #FaberCastellsketchpencils #diningroommirror #sunlight https://www.instagram.com/p/CCALX_dntTo/?igshid=wjbst2w63cro
