I think I found a new friend....

Pan Pastel on Newsprint Why have I not played with Pan Pastels and newsprint before, SO much fun! I could not sleep so figured I would do a quick sketch as did not feel like having to clean brushes at 1am.  So I pulled out some old newsprint that I had forgotten I even had.  Ugh...still not tired....I think tomorrow is going to be a loooong day!

Happy New Year

Life Drawing at Basic Inquiry - Lawrence  It is that time of year when I used to make resolutions, most of of which died off by mid February.  So this year I am choosing to set "goals" rather than "resolutions".  To make it even easier, I am setting goals that I actually want to do and that are near impossible not to achieve!  I have missed life drawing over the past couple of years so this of course is top on my list.  To make the time and commit to life drawing once a week, either from a live model or from an object in my studio or outside.  Did I mention I am also setting the goals near impossible not to achieve them?  I actually am doing this for good reason.  I used to set such optimistic goals that I was destined to not achieve them as, let's face it, life gets busy in a hurry.  With age comes wrinkles..I mean wisdom... and I have realized if I set my goals to be so low that I would feel ridiculous not achieving them, that I actually achieve them
