Me, in action at a petite workshop last Sunday at Huff Harrington in Atlanta
(thanks to Kathy Cousart for the photo)
This was the second "demo" I did on Sunday, from a photo of fellow painter Sandy Overton's granddaughter. Well, it was obvious to me and all who attended that I hadn't been doing my nightly drawing for a while. I had to state and "re-state," the angle of the arm with the watering can, the shape of the head, the hand, the skirt -- you name it!! So, I am back at it: the nightly 5-minutes of drawing -- drawing my hand, my wine glass, Michael's profile, etc -- hoping to align my hand and mind to make life easier. Drawing is a wonderful way to stay out of daily concerns, while focusing on the task at hand.

“Drawing is the basis of art. A bad painter cannot draw. But one who draws well can always paint.” Arshile Gorky
Des mots justes pour qualifier des instants de pure bonheur !... Une photo aussi qui justifie ces mots... et une peinture qui le prouve...
