Finding the Time for Drawing

Even a whimsical drawing counts. It's all about observation. Make a mark. Any mark. It will make you feel good.

Well, it's a NEW YEAR and I have a NEW IDEA! I'm going to start an experiment with this blog starting some time this week. I'm thinking drawings, photos and musings centered around the Furry Herd. This could be fun. I might throw in a random painting or two. Like this one. I was so taken by Katya Minkin's watercolor paintings of Budgies that I had to try it myself. It was a good excuse to use my Cobalt Turquoise Light.

Spray roses

Getting ready for the real deal by painting fresh flowers on the enclosed porch.

Wren house

I waited all summer for those leaves to grow up the birdhouse.

Hydrangeas

The hydrangea study has now become a finished painting headed for a show.

Brush & Palette study

Unfinished but I like it.

It was suggested by a friend that I should start getting ready for painting outside. I wish!
