You’ve not heard from me for a while. It’s not that I’ve forgotten YOU it’s just that I’ve had nothing inspiring me and for those of you who have followed my blog for a long time know it’s ultimately ALL ABOUT ME.
Yesterday I started a summer art class – life drawing. Drawing still-lifes and such (you know the kind where the instructor wants you to draw a block of wood, a vase with an artificial flower and a porcelain doll who stares straight ahead with malice in her eye) just isn’t my “thing”. I’ve got nothing against still-lifes mind you (my life has been still on more than one occasion) but I prefer real flesh.
Here’s my first foray into real flesh since my one life drawing class in 1966. I was pleased . . . with the drawings, of course.

Kathe,
Thank you!!! However, you might be too impressionable since you’ve now spent decades learning the hypnosis trade and could be in permanent trance.

Wow! Great sketches. Of course the inspiration is obvious. You did well, capturing the poses and proportions. I can see the flow of your line, very impressive.

Does the timing of this new class also conflict with the writers’ group meetings? Hope not. We miss you and your wit.

Sharon,
The art class meets exactly the same time as the writing group on Tuesdays. I miss you too, but I where ever I go I take my “wit” (much to the consternation of some!).
