drawing


(10x14, pencil)

Feeling very unenergetic lately and unable to get to the paints, but from now on when I feel that way, I'm going to try a little drawing.
The pencil drawing is my blanket: I enjoy just starting at one end and working my across.
Below is my cat Smilla sitting on the railing in various poses: it's a challenge for me get her contour as she is never still for long.
Drawing it turns out is a pleasure in itself and not solely a substitute for painting.

I agree with your thougths about drawing. It always feels good and I just don't do enough.
try some B complex for some needed energy. It works for me

Lovely glimpse of philosophy here! Reading your blog often seems like having a good friend in the room when you need some inspiration!
