Seven Days and Counting

Still struggling to get out of my drawing slump, I've been perusing the many wonderful artist blogs I visit. One of these great bloggers wrote about the benefit of drawing everyday for thirty days even if all you could muster was a scribble. I wish I could remember whose blog it was! If you read Drawing Breath and recently posted about drawing for thirty days in a row, please, let me know and I'll give credit where credit is due.

All that being said, I read the post and decided to give it a go. May 1 was the start day. So while I'm not officially part of the Every Day in May group I guess unofficially I am. I'm easily distracted, as the piles of ongoing projects in my studio prove, but I'm bound and determined to do this. (Please note, I waited a week to see how really bound and determined I might be before posting about it! LOL)

Noting November

It's been a busy November so these sketches are scribbled in various books-what ever was handy when I picked up the pencil. They trace my wanderings from the Chicago History Museum with the Monday sketch group to the Art Institute's Terzo Piano for a delicious brunch to St. Lad's parking lot late in the afternoon to vegetating in front of the T/V. and a lot of Starbucks along the way! They are the "pause that refreshes"! (The sketching -more than the coffee.)
