Friday

 

day 57

okay, i know, more pictures of cats, but I took this picture at the end of the night and i just laughed and laughed. Probably need to sleep more. Lighting is difficult with black cats.

melty eye hen

his handsomeness.

 

ANYWAYS. went swimsuit shopping on Friday which temporarily lost me a lot of my swagger.

day 56

i should perhaps mention that focus is something I struggle with at times. I think sometimes people assume I have a long attention span, but I am actually pretty easily distractible and building up studio sitting time is a practice for me. Not entirely unlike a meditation practice, some days work better than others.

I just recently restarted meditating as well. As I mentioned before, I am not good at keeping up habits, especially if they are good for me. I do find that it steadies me though.

wednesday

 

day 55

I started this day with a  lunchtime breakfast with a friend. What a nice way to start the day.

My paynes gray chart. a buffet of paynes grey. No, i never get tired of thinking that sentence. I first grew fond of paynes grey through Golden, and theirs heavily slants towards blue.  I never much thought a great deal about different brands and different versions of colors before this.

listening to: The World Until Yesterday, Jared Diamond

tuesday

 

day 54

starting to take some kind of shape! I originally wrote that as staring to take some kind of shape, and that would be true. theres always a lot of staring, and peeking from around things, trying to look at it with new eyes. still got the same ole peepers though.

Swim class Tueday! I did the backstroke!

Monday

 

day 53

okay, having to backtrack again. for some reason I resist habits. Especially if it seems like they are becoming established or might be useful. I can get myself to take a picture at the end of the night but then I’m too filled with sleepy apathy to post.  Oh well, try, try again. this was a day of drawing.

Saturday

 

day 51

one of those days where nothing goes right. lots of paperwork to do.

a short day in the studio and drawing around this guy is slow going, but at least he is good company.

day 50!

i didn’t really believe I would be able to keep this up for 50 almost sorta sequential days.

but here i am.

making sketches and sketches of sketches.

also stopped out at openings at 78th street with my girl Dana Oldfather. busy busy over there. Beautiful fiber show with Rebecca Cross, Jessica Pinsky and Libby Chaney.
