Studio space, flowers





So, these pictures represent a corner of my studio space, and a couple of self portraits. I was happy with the last portrait, it is more of a sketch really but I feel as if I am getting closer to where I want to be with my drawing skills. The first portrait is too dark, and really I am not that grim usually. I love the studio, it is a wonderful place to work, and totally dedicated to artmaking. A room of one's own, I guess.

I have the evening free, to myself, and plan to spend it working on more sketches and portraits. To really make it perfect, I biked down
to our favorite wine store (our new friend Ingmar owns it) and bought a good bottle of pinot. I will drink it while I do the sketching. Hopefully, the next blog entry will have something to show for it and not just drunken scratchings.

My friend Erik appears in the second portrait, although Erik seldom has no humor in his face.

yes, that second portrait looks a bit like an ex-con, on the chain gang. trust him? I think not.

Yes, nice drawings, and studio space. But I fail to see the connection with those local biking pictures you're about to post :)
