1001 Drawings #321, What’s In A Look
In the high school I work at I come in contact with a variety of people. Some of them have developed their own styles or looks. the sad commentary on our society is that we judge many of those we come in contact with by what we see. I have learned from early on in life not to make a decision about anyone by how they may choose to dress or look. I always seek to know a person’s heart where the truth of a who a person is lies. So my advice is to try and do the same. Seek to get to know someone whom you might have otherwise not have any interest to know.
Rope the Night Sky, Doodle #64
There are times as an artist when you hit a creative wall. When I saw the prompt for today was night I thought it was going to be easy to be easy to come with a good representation of the prompt. Boy was I wrong. I went through a number of quick drafts and then tossed them aside.
After all the fuss over the prompt I finally came to one conclusion I was trying to hard to create the perfect drawing. Art is all about spontaneity. The more we try to create the perfect brush stroke or put down the perfect pen mark the more we stifle our creativity.
While looking for something to inspire me I was redoodling pictures on my iPad. Today’s offering is one of them. I don’t usually put theses doodle out there but it is a reminder of what we as artists do sometimes “Rope the Sky,” in order to find inspiration for our art.
Daily Timeout for Art #48
As an artist I love to venture into new areas. One of those new areas is collage. I haven’t done many of them but I like assembling the various aspects of a collage and then painting over them with acrylics or pen. The challenge for today was to create a picture of a plant. I chose to do a orchid like flower over a collage of old newsprint and other paper assemblages. The piece is entitled “Red Orchid” and is the first of many more of these types of pictures I hope to create.
Daily Timeout for Art #39
Today’s challenge involved drawing something silver. I started out thinking about doing a still life of some silverware but to me it was just to static. I enjoy movement or color in the paintings I create so I moved on and did a doodle entitled “Silver Goblet and Pink Flower. My wife told me it looked more like a wine glass so when you look at it envision a goblet. Not the fancy kind but like the one you get out on a lazy Sunday afternoon to have a sip of wine.

Today’s daily timeout is a “Fishy Tale.” It is a pen and ink doodle colored in with marker and then enhanced using a digital art program. I hope you like today’s offering and as always all my art is available for sale and soon be found on a number of products on Zazzle and Redbubble.
Daily Timeout for Art #36
Today’s daily timeout for art is all about the b’s, no not the letter but the buzzing kind. This piece is entitled “White Flowers and a Bee.” The piece was created digitally.
Daily Timeout for Art #35
The 35th piece of art entitled “Flowers and an Orange” is a unique piece of art. the background for the still life was created using chalk shaved onto the surface of a pan of water. Then a piece of watercolor paper is held over the surface of the water and lightly padded creating the background. The rest of the painting is once again done digitally.
Daily Timeout for Art # 34
Today’s offering is lovingly entitled “Cat 22” not because it is my 22nd cat drawing but only because it sounded like a neat title for a picture. The picture was created entirely with the Art Studio app on an iPad.
