30 Cats

I’ve been drawing off and on for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked through several how-to-draw books and taken art classes. But I drew so sporadically that any skills I acquired were quickly lost and I felt like I had to start back at the beginning. the perfectionist in me was never satisfied with the results. Drawing became a frustrating chore.

But since I still have the desire to draw, I’ve decided I need to to do it more often, make it fun, and concentrate on the process instead of the results. Enter yet another book: Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists by Carla Sonheim.

The first exercise is to draw 30 cats while sitting or laying in bed. Here are my results:

Photo Silly assignment 1

I’m taking the Photo Silly Photography class taught by Steven Sondheim. The first assignment was to take 20 pictures with your eyes closed and post your favorite. This is mine.

Daffodil

I took this picture several weeks ago. I’m thinking about starting a photography series of urban flowers.
