Lots to catch up on and apologies for my absence. Due to a
very busy fall and winter I dropped out of the blogosphere. My husband and I
downsized from our home of 31 years to an apartment on the Great Miami River,
we delighted in sharing our lives with our first grandchild, the most
delightful baby in the world, and we were both absorbed with our work. And I am
not even going to mention the election…. no I am not! 2016 held both good and
bad, but honestly, I am ready to see it go.
In thinking about my creative life I have been considering
something I don’t do often enough, and that is drawing. I confess that I do not
draw every day; I am consumed with collage making for commissions, rfps, series
and exhibitions, but I do not draw like I should. SO, this year I intend to
make at least one drawing a day for the entire year. I don’t care if it’s just
a line on a napkin, I pledge to do it. Now that I have made my public vow, you
readers are my witnesses, my subtle nags, my feet to the fire art loving
friends. Here is the pledge:
FOR 365 DAYS IN THE YEAR 2017 I WILL MAKE AT LEAST ONE
DRAWING A DAY.
I ask that you check in with me from time to time to keep me
honest, and I will post drawings as I go along. I may need your gentle
reminders that I have made this promise to myself.
NEXT: AN INVITATION, OR CHALLENGE IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT
THAT, TO YOU: JOIN ME IN THIS ENDEAVOR! START YOUR OWN DRAWING A DAY FOR A YEAR
AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING.
Let’s become a community of communicators in the visual
world. Draw!
Heartfelt wishes to all for your best year ever!
