Day 43: Martian Sunset

I am reading a book by Brendon Burchard, THE CHARGE, Activating the 10 Human Drives that Make You Feel Alive, and he was talking about how our brain becomes more activated when we engage in something novel or challenging.  He than states that "an engaged brain in a happy brain."  So, it made me think...
If I ask someone to draw a sunset, we all have a set idea of what a sunset looks like, and our brains don't have to work too hard because we have seen this a thousand times. However, if I ask someone to draw a sunset on Mars (or any other planet) we now are faced with a whole new concept that we have never seen and/or given much thought to.

An engaged brain in a happy brain!

Day 39: Sunglasses

This is super ugly, but that's okay - I can not make pretty art every day.  Today I feel lazy, and don't want to do anything.  Went for a run, read Brendon Burchard's book "The Charge", watch the end of a bad Ben Stiller/Jack Black movie, ate leftover hamburger from last night's BBQ and went with daughter to see "Men in Black 3".  That's my lazy day.

Is this person missing a nose?
