Small Doses. This and That

Now, how does this go? graphite, Thirty minute drawing series, twenty minute sketch.

.This gal first chased her hat. Then couldn't get her pareo tied.  I felt for her. The wind was strong, but she was determined to make an entrance.   This would make a lovely painting.  Her pareo was quite beautiful blowing in the wind--and I really did dig that hat. This morning's twenty minutes had a few chuckles.

I had another chuckle when I came across this doodle from years ago in my  new Picasa app.  I immediately thought of FB. I posted it as a challenge to participate in whenever the mood struck:  The When Art Was Fun Challenge.  It goes like this:  When art was fun, I had time to shop.  This sketch makes me smile.

Detail Erin in progress, oil. 

This kind of drawing goes slow and calculated,  The grid
give you an idea of where to place your mark, but your eye reads
the nature of the mark you want to make--thinking of the painted
edge the whole time.

the canvas is 20 x 16,  not too over powering.
