I pull out a new sheet of 18x14" Canson 90 pound classic cream drawing paper this morning and begin playing, playing, playing.

Absolutely love that first drawing. It did remind me of something prehistoric in nature before I even read your description. Wow that is a large sheet. I know you are committed to daily practice, but I meant the commitment to one till you are satisfied/or not! I tend to freeze in the middle!
Carol, I love(d) that first drawing to. I like its graphic-design nature and rough, uneven lines.
Yes, large sheet of paper (large for me, anyway); a few pads of drawing paper were passed along to me.
Oh! Commitment to any one piece. Yes. I think that's at the heart of creative engagement for me, all that working things through to some kind of resolutlion, all that facing whatever comes up. I freeze, too. Often. But nearly always stay committed to making space for the least little bit of thaw (or hammering away at the ice sometimes!) and moving forward.
Hi Dotty, I absolutely love your lake Champlains projects. There is so much freedom in them! I really love the shapes and the linework from them. They remind me a little bit of the kind of shapes that Claire Desjardins makes/made. Beautiful!
Simone, I'm so appreciative of your observations on my vacation art. It's helpful to see it through your eyes. I can feel all sorts of creative activaty popping and fizzing inwardly. Hoping to get at least a bit of it expressed!
Love each phase of this. Really like the lyrical leaves :)
Thanks, Sheila. Fun to hear that the lyrical leaves caught your eye. I'll be returning to this piece eventually—not sure at all where it will go.
