The Sketchbook Project-- Page 10


Wow-- I just realized I have a lot more pages to fill by January! As the title of this post so astutely explains, this is page 10...with the theme being "Things that Changed Other things."...words are powerful (pretty common knowledge)...and what I'm trying to get at here (probably pretty obvious huh)? is that the words not spoken, are sometimes even more powerful-- shutting doors, opening others, etc....Not speaking what's on your mind can just as powerfully influence the future as not doing so. I can think of way to many examples of this in my own life! (so it seemed to be appropriate to include it in the project :) It was done in mixed media-- collage, pencil, watercolor, and gouache.

I'm so tired....(think nasty congestion cold and the Beatles circa 1968 (?)


Oh yeah, I've got a bad cold....I was really tired on Monday night and took a 3 hour nap...The next morning I had some kind of nasty cough, congestion, phlem thing going on...(yeah, I know...pretty isn't it :D)...Thus, I have not worked on my art in a number of days :( I thought I would post this image I created in college-- as I am headed for bed after this :)...It was an homage to my beloved Beatles...It is an original etching/print that I altered with colored pencil...I had this phase in college where I couldn't stop drawing John Lennon's nose....It really is a very nice nose :)
