After completing my 3-panel Legacy project yesterday, I have not felt like starting anything new. But not to worry -- my creative juices are definitely flowing!The last few days, I've focused on drawing the human figure using one of my artist figures. May seem boring, but it is necessary. I've had some challenges with proportions and this is a great way to work on that. Also, my last few projects have been free flowing, so I'm enjoying the contrast of more focus and precision. Fun.
I'm noticing as I continue to do an art project everyday that my artistic eye is developing. I was looking at the sky today and was really wishing for my colored pencils so I could reproduce it!
Oh, one last thing . . . Today, my gift to myself was to buy a hand made African drum constructed in Malawi. A few years ago, I lived and worked all over Africa (Senegal, Cape Verde and South Africa -- and I visited a number of other countries) but I never managed to acquire a drum. But at this stage in my journey, the drum has taken on more importance to me. I have no idea how to play it, but I'm willing to learn.
So, here's to more music in my life!
