Pastel 54 - Sheep and Goat - or Goat and Sheep

These guys were both there in the pen lines, and each occupied about half of the page, oriented both ways.  So I drew them both, and signed the piece either way.


Goat and Sheep


Sheep and Goat

As expected, the goat looks like he has more attitude.  But we'll reserve judgment on the sheep since he's asleep.

Pastel 53 - Sumo 53


I feel that somehow the number 53 is disassembled and hidden in this drawing...

Pastel 52 - Clouds and Wind over Fields


While drawing today (working on Pastel 60) I found for the umteenth time that what Hundertwasser said was true - nature uses almost no straight lines and almost no right angles.  They disrupt the natural order.  I like the juxtaposition of human angles and planes in a landscape under certain conditions, but more frequently it doesn't work.  The drawing for #60 has one vertical straight line in it, and it is the only thing on the page I find, after considerable time staring at the drawing and trying to engage in a right brain shift, that I want to erase, and that keeps me anchored on the left.

Pastel 51 - Cats


The deer were the last from vacation.  But I have managed to do about one per day (average) since then.  This was the first one I did back at home.
