Removing the Block Mood
Friday, July 18, 2008 | A General Update story

I decided that the best way for me to accomplish my goal of creating a piece of art work is to start sketching.  It doesn't matter what I sketch, as long as I am sketching.  Just want to sharpen my skills and build my confidence again.

 

Tonight I sat in the back yard, and sketched a rusty, red wheelbarrow, which was leaning against a chain link fence.  Had to think about how to resolve some foreshortening issues on the paper. 

 

Didn't really feel the drawing tonight.  I'll try again tomorrow, earlier in the day.

You and Lily are perfect for each other. I knew you two would get along. Lots of love, my dear friend. You deserve the best. xoxox Oli
