December Daily Drawing No. 7

 I haven't been posting all of my daily December drawings, shame on me. I HAVE been doing them though, no, really, I have, I just get so busy sometimes that I don't get them posted. Here is Day No. 7....


"My Morning Coffee Mug"



  What I did here was I timed myself only 3 minutes and I didn't remove my pencil from the paper. I also tried not to look at the paper but keep my eyes on the mug. I have to admit, I peeked a couple times! This is a fun exercise to try, and a good way to practice shape and form.  And I have a witness!.............



  Sadie kept an eye on me to make sure I was doing this right. See how intense she is.  Of course, she had to dress up for the camera in her holiday best! I will try to get all my daily drawings up eventually. In the meantime, have a great and artistic day!

Finished At last !

I did it, I finished my Jesse Reno inspired painting. My son loves it so I'm very happy.



"Transitions"
14X14 Acrylic On Birch Panel

 Thanks to Jesse for the inspiration! This was great fun and very messy! Below are a couple of detail photos...



   And other than finishing this, I also did a 6 minute sketch for my December daily drawing.........


Timing myself 6 minutes keeps me from becoming too tight and picky with it. This is Diva, my Severe McCaw Parrot. Now it's time to get some housework done.....Oh well, someones got to do it right?
