Presenting: MUD!

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday, whichever you celebrate. I’m sending good thoughts for everyone for a wonderful 2016.  I’ll be presenting my worst of the year,soon, and it may include THIS:

That’s mud alright, in it’s basic boring form.  When I took the photo, I was intrigued by the sculptural quality of the leaves, and the contrasting texture of the wet soil.  Somehow, all this didn’t translate well into the drawing, so damn, damn, damn!  All I can say is damn.

Anyway, I’m left with the question, due I pursue this more carefully in a full sized version?  I do have an idea that might make it sing, and since I have no other idea giving me blinding inspiration at the moment….if I want to keep my drawing routine up, I guess I do.

So, hopefully, I’ll have an update by New Years Eve.

  1. What I have learned from my sister is that you need to draw and get good at drawing the boring stuff. Otherwise, you’ll run into a block in a drawing, and not know how to fix it.
    I like your art! You always find a way to make it sing to me!

    1. thanks so much, and your sister is right. Sometimes, you just have to study light, shapes, lines and shadows and forget that what you are drawing is boring.
