Daily Notes- September 20th- On the Phone


 Reminding me of the chairs I drew in my book- was it years ago????  Simple line contour drawings. I saw these chairs and I loved the patterns.  The top row and then the second row down on the left.  I like these three best.  Or just the top two on the left.   I think I wanted one drawing book to be just chairs. I should return to that daily practice of drawing a chair.  One needs to learn the eye and hand thing when drawing. And then never look at the paper.  Just the subject.  I'm good with chairs etc but never really  GOT IT with figure drawing.  I didn't work hard enough.  With organic things like flowers, I just let the pencil or pen move and draw a looser or an imaginary flower.  That's how I paint.  Loose and watery and then some pencil or pen lines.  The Inktense pencils are fun.  They bleed and run.  The Art crayons- I loved the soft mixtures when we did the collage thing a few years ago.  

There is so much of Art that I enjoy but haven't done much lately.  I guess I need a Group Challenge, huh?

Football yesterday.  I lost interest in the second set of games.  Went back to my book. We never watch the late games.

Daughter is down in Portland checking out new cars.  Test driving them while her old car got a new recall axle and the tech guy dug all the mouse nests out of her glovebox and behind the radio.  She's getting a new car.  My only job is writing the check.  Cars are certainly more expensive these days but daughter said this new one costs the same as her old one.  Well, okay.

I can't wait for the Sports Shows on TV this afternoon .  So much happened yesterday.  Injuries and bad play by the new crop of quarterbacks and other players.  More injuries than ever it seems.  I am wondering what's going on????   I need a second cup of coffee and some toast.  See you tomorrow.
