A Little Life in My Drawings


"I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing."
Vincent van Gogh 

I have finally, FINALLY, found a life drawing group! I drive 1 hour south of the Bay of Islands once a week, to draw. That's how much I miss being surrounded by artists and getting my hands dirty with charcoal and graphite. Life drawing is one of the few activities that makes me lose track of time. Those who know me, are well aware that I have the attention span of a gnat. Yet, when I have a pencil in my hand and a model before me, I am so focused that I am only aware of time going by when my back starts getting achy.

I'm still finding my way back around curves and lines, but the process is as familiar as it is comfortable.
