I am an Air Force brat, a self-taught artist, and a part-time mom these days. I work out my artistic demons by making stuff and trying to find the humor when things go wrong. I have a spouse, two grown kids and cats that barf and bring horrible things into the house, so things do go wrong. My youngest is in college and only home during breaks, so I'm almost an empty nester, alone more than not and trying to figure out this new stage of life. Time to make a mess.

Drawing Blind
Well THIS has been an amusing exercise! So I've been doing the daily exercises in my drawing lab book, one of which was the blind contour drawing of a giraffe. Guffaw. That's no giraffe! Next I tried the same technique drawing a cow. It's as goofy as the "giraffe." Looking for some sign of hope that this could improve, I immediately go to my expert Debbie who, in her always wonderfully cheerful and glass overflowing attitude, encourages me to keep at it and have fun. Time to whip out the pen and sketchbook.
