Work has been intense this week with a big deadline, so I’ve been doing close to no sketching. I just went across the street to get some take-out lunch and sketched this gentleman while I waited for them to bring me the food. Seems like most of the time I’ll bring the sketchbook and not use it; I’m trying to break that habit and force myself to draw even if I don’t feel like it.
Joan and the kids were watching a movie the other night that was too scary for Lily (8), so she asked me to draw pictures with her in the dining room instead. She chose, as our subject, to draw some of the many “bobble-head” toys she’s got. She handed me mine to draw while she drew hers. This was way more entertaining than watching a movie!
I had a short, uneventful doctor appointment today. Still, it’s funny how long they keep you in those little rooms. The experience would have been quite a bit more challenging if it weren’t for the handy sketchbook. At one point I was hoping the doctor would delay coming in so I could finish the sketch – ha.
Well, I’m off to go camping, just like this time last year. The kids and Joan have already been there a week. There won’t be any posting for a while – until next weekend. Hopefully I’ll have some sketching to post!
Another good use of chopsticks.
Our oldest cat has asthma, it seems. They took him away for x-rays and I stood there waiting in the examination room. Poor old guy.
