Day 19:

I did this last night while my son and I were watching recorded Wimbledon Tennis. As I wondered what to do, he said, "Me, draw me!" So I tried. It was hard because he was sitting lower with his laptop not wanting to look up. And, even though I don't think it looks like him, it does resemble him.  See the real McCoy below. (His hair is different there.) I started drawing it in the blind contour fashioln and he said "No, look at the paper when you draw, or something of that sort. So part of it is blind contour and part is  done by looking at him and my paper as I drew.

This is interesting. I have been posting a couple days after I do the art. Because I worried if I could keep up. But it all seems fine in the artmaking department. I got behind on the posting as of late. I think I am going to take a risk and stay current.... What a dangerous likfe I live!

Day 18: A collaboration saves the day!

There was NO way I would have had the energy to do my art tonight from scratch, or so I think. I had my show tonight with my client work from the YWCA's homeless program and it was fabulous. I was honored, humbled and in awe of the art and the evening. And, when I returned home, exhausted yet hyped. Shea's friend Dimitre had started this back on my day 3 I think. He is off in Switzerland now so I thought I would finish it. Probably could use some more work, but oh well. Another day with SOMETHING is what matters most right this moment. Thank you.

Day 17: A teeny tiny yet big contribution - The Tall Flower

Today's art is only about 6 inches wide, by 3 feet. I did not have it in me to do anything, and I did something. So to me, that is big. I am grateful that some how I remember to show up and do it every day. Or at least for the last 17. Good to know that I can do something (fairly) quick. I am thinking about going to buy those giant oil pastel sticks. Thinking they will cover bigger areas. Not sure how they are for blending. But it is worth trying. Will keep you posted.
