Summer Updates

Inking lines has begun

Updates on current artwork has a Monday morning type of going to be a fun week vibe. Malaise had been grabbing me aside whenever it wants to. I have been very hesitant to select which lines to ink because in this style of drawing, mistakes can mean starting over completely. 

The second ink and watercolor drawing is a go with the flow with no or very little planning. It is more relaxing to do because I can play with mistakes to turn them into successes.

Elsewhere…
Last week the side of my left leg banged into something sharp. I don’t remember what it was. When the plum size bruise is noticed, I start looking for things at that level. Trying to match up a bruise with an object is probably one of the weirdest experiences of my summer thus far. 
The object might be my iron framed coffee table. If I was getting off the sofa, the leg could have made contact then. 

I have been careful this summer to avoid (most) injuries, wear sunscreen and use bug spray. I think I’ve had one mosquito bite early in the season. 

The weather here has been dry or downpour season, an indoors or maybe outdoors kind of summer. 
I missed the county fair due to a calendar mishap. I wrote down the wrong dates. 
A particular derp depression slump left me with widespread catching up to do. 

How is your summer going?

  1. I love your abstract. I see what you mean about picking the right lines to ink, I think. Once you do it, you can't really go back if you realize you picked the wrong one. Summer here? OK. I've not felt the best, nervous about the ear procedure this week, edgy about lab result to come. But on the good side, time at the lake (if not IN the lake), time with Rick and grandlittles, time to paint and read. So, a good mix.

  3. I think what would scare me most about the inking step would be the fact that I know my hand would wobble in the middle of it....or, worse, my thumb would lock up and refuse to move as it is wont to do at inopportune moments.
