I am feeling the stress of coming back into busyness after the pandemic quiet year, along with the anxiety of not knowing how to plan the future or assess current risks.
We don’t have wild hedgehogs where I live, so as far as I’m concerned they’re mythical creatures. Of course I also think a lot of the animals who do live around here are full of stories and magic.
I love staring at clouds. I really love master paintings of sky, water and clouds. This is not one of those! just a note-to-self about how at evening sometimes the clouds are brighter than the sky on one side, and darker on the other, as a herd of them ambles past.
I used to do a lot of pencil shading, but realized partway into this drawing that it’s just not possible on a 9″ x 12″ page in the space of one drawing session. At least, not the way I do it.
Is it possible that now, after 10+ years of dailies, I’m edging my way back into longer form work? …..or maybe I’ve just fed my impatience for too long to turn back…..
