May I?

resuming blog with a goal

the dreamer from an old sketch book

I have a goal of posting one drawing a day.  (or as close as possible.)  I hope it will push me to draw more often.  Draw for the sake of drawing.

Sometimes I will post an old drawing, like today, but mostly I will post fresh ones.  I feel a period of search is in order and this will help.  What exactly do I want to draw?  How?  

For the last year, I have put my efforts to show in galleries to rest.  (Except when it requires no effort on my part.)  I feel better that way. 

I will post whether I consider the drawing successful or not.  I will draw from my imagination, from life, from photographs, mine or others'.  I will copy from paintings, from cartoons.
