I love my vacation. I'm seeing friends, getting a lot of things taken care of around the house, grading a giant bag of work before next week, listening to my favorite radio, reading, drawing, enjoying the week. While taking care of some paperwork today, I looked up and saw the sun making this interesting pattern on the wall from a front window. I sketched it in in pen, used gray markers for the values, then added some watercolor pencil and pastel to finish. The drawing is mostly successful, but interestingly, the trees through the window look like they are glued on as an afterthought. I need to resolve an issue with the temperature and values in that space, but I left it for now because the illusion is so interesting to me.
This is my hundred fortieth daily drawing.... very interesting journey so far. Thank you for looking.
First day of vacation was great; a little reading with coffee this morning, a luxury. Then off to the gym, then into Boston for an afternoon with my daughter.. lunch and the art store, and lots of time to catch up. Back home in time for a little more reading and a quick nap, with Fred, the cat, tucked in. Ahhhh.
This is my hundred thirty-sixth daily drawing. Thank you for your continued interest.
