I wish I could feel as joyous as the metal dancers seem, even when fenced in, but today I am a bit tired. Still recovering from the "icks," I had an all day drawing workshop that will continue into tomorrow. Today we spent doing gesture drawings, but not exactly of a ridiculous sort, such as 5 seconds, barely long enough to do a line, though some were as short as 30. Working as we are in charcoal, today was spent with the vine variety, even the most promising beginnings, and there were several which I would have been pleased to continue working on, were wiped away with the chamois to make another on its dusty remains. Though I doubt a goal of the course is to make one remember how fleeting a "thing" can be, it is one side effect. From 9:30 to 4:30 is a long time to be working on drawing, but I can't say it has been a wasted effort, as I am enjoying it, and seeing progress in how things progress. With luck, this won't totally mess me up for class on Tuesday, but I think in the end it will be a nice complement. Luckily, we are working a bit with some of the same techniques, such as enveloping, used in my other class. About it for now, time to finish my Red Menace and have something for dinner.Saturday, May 05, 2007
A long Saturday...

Howdy--sorry I've been rather difficult to get in contact with lately. Though my classes ended, I was frantically cleaning up the house for my 4th of may party and all of the sudden Dad comes by and begins criticizing everything from the lawn to the windows. With Uncle James coming and uncertainty as to how long they would be staying and my party guests to ready for, I was in overload... I'll be all better for next week.
