i shall start the new drawing tonight

i have decided to do the fourth pose i already had lined up. i will draw it as well as paint it. the painting will come later though.

i took some pictures today of this barn that burned down last night near my boss's house. the pile of burnt wood was still smoldering. i'm gonna edit them a bit, and then i'll probably put them on here. i also have a bit more photography to add, i just haven't gotten around to doing it. mostly of my kids, but some really good ones... a close up of maddux crying with a huge tear on his face is my favorite at the moment.

thats all for now. i'll keep everyone posted on whats new.

#3

here is the third...and now i'm stuck. the pose i wanted to do next, i now want to paint it bigger on canvas. i suppose i could do both, but i'm not sure. they would look differently, since one would be charcoal, and one would be oil. i am also not going to paint it in black and white.

i dunno yet.

regardless, i still have no idea for the last two. i could leave it at four, but i really want to do six.

we are back from our commercial break...

i started the third drawing (finally). i'll probably finish it tonight. too much has been happening lately, had me a bit distracted from art. but, the motivational fire has been lit under my butt again. i feel the need to create.

my two submissions to the refuge gallery in chicago were accepted, i got the email a couple days ago. the gallery opening is next friday. i need to see if we are going to be able to go. i'm excited.
