I’m spread thin right now. I often have to give up one thing in order to do another. I wish I could work up the nerve to become a full-time artist. When I start to paint, it will be another step in that direction. Whether it takes me another 10 years, or if it happens tomorrow, something is going to have to give, because I am enjoying my art more and more every week. Last Saturday I took videos at a stand-up paddleboard race but I discovered that my videos took forever to upload to YouTube. I ended up doing projects around the house between video uploads, and I never got my blog written about last week’s drawing efforts! So here we are, a week later, video-rich, blog-poor.
I won’t be drawing this week because I want to spend time with a friend who is visiting.
Below are my drawings from last week. Underneath is a photograph of a blue heron that I took yesterday. I had just finished a site inspection to make a service proposal for my business, and I was driving through the community when I saw a great blue heron, posing by a pond. The overcast sky, frigid temperatures, and gray tones all combined to make the slightly nervous bird very picturesque. Nature photography sometimes is just the good luck of happening upon it!
