Yep, It's Winter

Winter is supposed to be this really quiet time up here in Maine. But it just isn't this year. It's cold and beautiful and all the bustle of the holidays are over. I'm working on this drawing project, which has been interesting so far. My goal is to draw and date one drawing a day, which will be shown as a body of work in 18 months. I find that it's pressure I do and don't like. Knowing I've made this commitment is the part I like because it keeps me going through all the excuses. I don't like how I keep thinking I won't want to show some of these drawings to people because they are not "good enough". I want to document my process honestly, but it does take humility.

Collections

This is the time of year when lots of bloggers start showing collections of things. So I'm looking around at all the different things I've somehow ended up "collecting", although I never thought of it as collecting...just as having to have more of these things I love. Well, maybe I don't love TO DO lists, but I sure have alot of them. Something perverse in me makes me save them. And look at how I must cross off items!

Drawing Project

I'm working on a drawing project which will result in a show in 18 months. The idea is to document my drawings and how they develop and what they lead to. I'm doing at least one drawing a day that is dated in red pencil in the upper right corner. We'll see where it leads.
