I’m trying some small changes, bit by bit, to this blog. For the first time I’ve turned on the “comments” below the posts.
Here’s hoping all the moms had a great Sunday.
I’ve slacked off a little on my sketching and blogging lately because work’s been so crazy – 16 and 20-hour days, etc. I love my work, I’m not complaining; but I have been looking forward to a moment to collect myself and sketch something unrelated to the current job. We had a few days off this weekend for the holiday, so I did some sketching, which I look forward to posting up here in the near future.
This is the first watercolor I’ve done in a while, so I felt a bit rusty, sitting there on a folding chair at the river’s edge. I think, if I were to try it again, I’d emphasize the dramatic diagonals of those big trees sweeping in from the upper left; and I’d add a kid floating in from screen right on an innertube for scale and human interest. I don’t know. Maybe it’s ok as is…
