August 13, 2007 Day 116
In this morning's drawing I made the mistake of making some freehand circles and lines, and then switching to exact lines drawn with a ruler. Actually, the mistake was not using a compass and ruler in the first place. Mixing the freehand and the exact did not work here. After a lot of effort trying to make the drawing work, I finally felt that if I kept at it, I would only make it worse.
Today when Adrian took two paintings to my packer, the place was closed with a small sign that said it would reopen in a couple of days. That meant Adrian and I had to pack the paintings, which we finally managed to do with a lot of sweat and aggravation. At least now I know what I pay my packer for. It is definitely worth it.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting because I had to give myself time to get ahead in case we travel and I'm not able to post.)
