Tape Measure Sketches


I was struggling with these sketches. The light wasn't good, my concentration wasn't good, and the sketches aren't good - but I kept my pencil moving and I learned a little more about my subject each time I drew it. I was a little disappointed that it didn't get progressively better, but I feel like I learned something, and isn't that what Robert Fulghum said in the quote I posted yesterday? I think I covered the suggestions in his quote pretty well today. I didn't dance, but I did sing in the shower, I played the piano, I got in some drawing and painting, and I worked some.

I seriously need to get in more drawing time. I'm going to work on that.

We had cold, snowy, slippery weather here today with very strong winds. I didn't even go out of the house except to retrieve the bird feeder from the middle of the street. Winter has arrived in full force. That's okay - that gives me a few good months to get a lot of work done. And play a little.
