I’ve already submitted something for “change” this week but I also sketched this and thought of submitting it. This is how I feel sometimes when I paint. If everything just isn’t going just right for me one day, I sketch my heart out and I feel great again. Isn’t that what art is all about or what it’s supposed to do? To all my peeps, thanks for clicking on my blog again. See you next week!
Waiting for the annual “Walnut Festival Parade” down Main Street (in Walnut Creek, CA), I drew this popular building in my sketchbook. I’m getting ready for the Sketchcrawl next week where a group of artists get together and sketch plein-air. We meet every 3 months. I’m out of practice because I don’t draw outdoors too often. I’ve learned it teaches me to observe better, therefore better art! I like the end result because what I learn I take onto the next outdoor drawing.
Okay all you fellow hard working artists: it’s time we pushed yourselves from that computer screen or easel and get to the local gym! I know because I’m one included! If not to the gym, how about a stroll on the beach to enjoy the healthy sun. This painting is dedicated to all us big guys/gals who need a little bit of motivation. Let’s help this “little guy” inside of all of us just busting to get out. Seriously though, this is how I feel on my 30 minute treadmill every weekday (except Friday). I hope it’s working. Have a good workout from me! :).
Here’s my take on this week’s word “Farm”. I tried to think up as many farm animals possible but there were just too many letters and words, so I had to use an ear of corn and a mouse to join the chorus. Oh well, the more the merrier! Have a happy Friday everyone.
Here’s my submission for this week’s IF word: Safe. The image is motivated from those magazine ads where some unfortunate person is saying he/she has his life insurance policy paid up just before some freak accident is about to happen. Feel free to give me a better caption if you can think of one. Thanks.
