SAIL ON...365 Days of Drawing

A fast-paced travel trip to Northern CA. A drawing done every day, the challenge met. The day of this landscape of the river, I had a little more time to take my sketch to oil. The other days, I made the best of what I could get to meet the challenge with limited time, the hotel lobby, a quickie BIC pen drawing with the Golden Gate Bridge as the star.

More sketches posted from the trip tomorrow.

Leaving on a jet plane...365 Days of Drawing

AS we headed out to the airport, I grabbed my firstborn, Jess, my real achievement in life along with her sister, to sit for me for the daily challenge.

She was gracious as she sat on her bags, packed and ready to go back to her home...

Traveling for the week myself. Will not be posting but I will be drawing...

Routine...365 Days of Drawing

One day at a time...the daily drawing challenge continues unbroken for 2010.

FANCY FOOTWORK...365 Days of Drawing

The feet are probably the only body part I haven't drawn so far in this year's unbroken daily challenge. Half an hour of playing footsie with the BIC pen very useful. Thank you Mr. George.Bridgeman. He taught Norman Rockwell how to draw. How I wish I could have had a foothold in that drawing room.

The other image is a daily drawing that I put paint on yesterday.

Lost and NOT found...365 Days of Drawing..

Time is short. Quick sketch to the rescue. 10 minutes each done from the model in my teaching class at The California Art Institute from different angles.

Not that great but met the drawing challenge. Soon to be placed in the 'lost and not found again' pile. But drawing practice, especially from a live sitter, counts and is accumulative to one's skill set so I don't mind at all.

MONTH 9 Begins...365 Days of Drawing

A non-stop day. Posthumous portrait to finish in studio, visitors arriving from Australia in the evening, shop, cook, clean, a drawing challenge to get done and a teaching class to prep. for today.

I did my drawing at 11pm after everyone had gone to bed. Not my best, no surprise.
