September 2, 2007 Day 136
I thought I had moved past my drawing fog, and started this morning confidently, beginning with a series of parallel lines in an array of colors from yellow through red, to purple. Design was still on my mind, and I continued to use these colors in a series of floral shapes radiating out from the center. I kept working, noting that the drawing was not coming together. I think at one point it worked fairly well, but I continued and continued, adding black lines to try to differentiate sections. Finally, I had to stop:
Drawing #138 14" x 11"
Our get-together with the neighbors last night went fine, of course. They are lovely people. Maybe I do need to do this more often in order to get past the anxiety.
Adrian and my neighbor loved canvas #20 as it was, but I felt I had to continue it this morning. Adrian still likes it, but I'm not sure I can think of it as "finished."
Canvas #20 40" x 40"
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead in case we travel and I'm not able to post.)
