A Drawing A Day - Day 16 + 17
So far, so good.
I am getting the hang of this drawing project, and enjoying the process of deciding the subject of the day and studying it.
We have a "zen" corner of our livingroom. It consists of a makeshift altar with a beautiful gourd vessel that has twigs coming out from its opening. This gourd was a gift from our dear friend Kylie when she came to visit us couple of weeks ago from Chicago-land. It has the most beautifully smooth contours and spots reminiscent of a mixture between Chinese brush painting and a Jackson Pollock painting, if you know what I mean.
And the twigs! These twigs were foraged when we visited our friend Vicki on Anderson Island, WA, and they are just a reminder of the great hikes and lickens and uznias that are abundant there in the great Northwest. Oh, how I love them.
The gourd and the twigs create the "zen" space, and I would say it's the most peaceful space in our house.
My favorite drawing so far!
Today's subject was somewhat not as zen.... it's my left hand. It is a very good friend of mine, it is usually not as recognized as my other, but when it comes to playing the cello, i cannot live without.

A Drawing A Day Project - Ready, Set, Go!
Okay, it's way past due. But here is the thing. It's not too late to begin now.
Introducing my new personal project....A Drawing A Day.
So many things around my life triggered the conception of this project. So many things. The continuously changing colors, the changing landscapes; though this time, it is somewhat familiar... Yes, my move to Iowa celebrated its first year last week. Wow, so fast.
My longing love for subtle change in thickness and direction of lines, my visit to my art professor at my college after nine years, posing for my retired drawing professor landlord at his atelier inspired me to start making marks and lines of my own.
Just one drawing per day. No matter how simple or small. That is the essence.
I started on the first day of October. Now I have a stack. Here they are to share.
My rules:
-Draw once a day, no matter how small or simple.
-Draw from life. No using pictures allowed!!!
My goal originally was to post the drawing each day, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Maybe somewhere along the line...
More drawings to come. Very soon.
