I was wanting to draw a person, but everyone in my family had gone to bed. Then I turned and saw myself in the mirror in our dining room. I had to stoop to see my face and thought it was an interesting composition. This is the fist time I’ve drawn myself in a long time, like a couple decades or so… I don’t know why or why not, in this case. I’m trying out a Micron 02 pen. I like it because it’s waterproof and the lines are very black.
Every Christmas I try to do a painting for my wife. This year’s painting features our daughter’s tortoise in my wife’s garden. This is the reference sketch I made, which was a huge help.
She’s only ten years old, but loves sitting quietly and making beautiful things for friends and family…
The annual Cookie Bake where just about everyone from my wife’s family comes over to share their Christmas cookies and dividing them up for everyone. Great fun.
I was impressed that they had a videographer there on the field.
