In my drawing class we’re suppose to rapid sketch every day. I’ve been rather lax so decided to participate (sorta) in the on-line #CreativeSprint to do something creative every day. I figure if I do 3 sketches at one time it counts as 3 days for both the class and the sprint. I’m ahead of the game! Here’s 14 days worth:
These are not shitty FIRST drafts, they are the only drafts.
AND TA DA the piece de resistance!!!!!!!!!!!!

CURIOUS to the MAX 
I missed a lot of your posts while I was offline in Cuba. Glad to be back.

And we, your readers missed you . . but probably not as much as you missed your luggage! Glad you are back safe and sound and clothed.

Laura,
Thank you for the encouragement.
Love the term “stuff” – it’s actually one of my favorites!

It’s what I do best! Without the encouragement of some key people, I may have given art up a long time ago. Really happy to spread the arty love. Loving your faces in particular!

Laura,
I’ve never had much encouragement and I tend to bounce from one creative endeavor to the next – it’s a perfect combination for being a perpetual dilettante!

I was a bouncer too! ’til I found art…..and it sucked me in totally. I don’t think I’ll bounce out of it – but I DO bounce from one medium to the next constantly! lol!

Laura,
I admire (and am a teeny bit envious) that you’ve found your passion. I’ve yet to be sucked into anything for longer than a year and at my age each year is getting shorter!

lol! Well….I’m past 45, so it did take me quite some time. Watercolor was what sucked me in. Now I draw, paint, I have to make some kind of art every day to stay (what in my world we call) balanced. If you haven’t found it, you will! Do you experiment with different mediums?

Laura,
I’ve done abstract acrylic, a teeny bit of oil. I’m now trying pastel but mainly concentrating on sketching which I think is the basis for everything. Most of my stuff I do post and it’s scattered on both this blog and http://judywesterfield.wordpress.com

Judy, you are so very talented – do you realize how difficult it is to achieve such finesse? I love the gestural quality of your art – quick but expressive.

Thank you for the affirmation. I am never sure about my talent, only my persistence – nice compliment coming from YOU.

These are amazing. Hands–they are impossible to draw, and you’ve proven me wrong.

You are Too funny and a talented artist. I’m impressed. Wish you could send some of your creativity motivation to me somehow. I haven’t done anything in quite awhile. Right now waiting for the gender of new addition (Lisa’s daughter 2nd) due in Oct. to make my traditional first(blue or pink) baby blanket. I have many projects in ‘the ‘ room but no interest in doing in this stage of my old age. Thanks for sharing. Happy you are keeping busy after retirement.

Linda,
The internet challenges or a class are the only things lately that keep me going – when left to my own devises I prefer to be slovenly! ANOTHER baby – that family is fertile!
