Dark shadows indicate an unpredictable, unknowable nature All the eyes, All the science, All the research, The clouds get to keep to keep their mystery. Just like my emotions retain their elusive nature
It’s all so fickle A butterfly flaps it’s wings and a hurricance gets stronger A partner looks sideways and a days sinks into darkness
Sunny days are around the corner Bright fluffy clouds and impossibly blue sky So totally hidden, unimaginable on this rainy day A huge step of faith to know that it will return
An adorable dog that is a fixture at our Pony Club events, this is Pixie:
I love seeing other artists do in progress pictures – the process of creation is totally fascinating. Usually I forget to take the early photos (the drawing I am doing right now is a good example of that 🙁 ) – but in this case I paused often and have a good series for you.
I do use a grid when working with subjects that I find difficult. I don’t generally need them for horse drawings – but dogs, and especially humans, I find harder to “get right”.The tongue is hard to get right – I kept coming back to it over and over againAlmost done – but she’s so white on a white background… I don’t like the composition of it all. But it is so scary to take a practically finished piece and then start to add a background. What if a ruin it!!??And the finished product. I’m happy with the background – I don’t think I ruined it (sigh – relief)
As an aside – I LOVE our Pony Club – South Thompson Pony Club souththompsonponyclub.weebly.com . Pony Club is for children (and adults) who love horses and want to learn more about them. Our club is in Pritchard and leaving it to move to Seattle was one of the hardest parts of the move.
