Aaaaagggh!!

I've had "blogger's block" recently, so I thought I should title this blog with something that really expresses how I feel at this time. My inability to write a blog post lately has been due, Number One, to the fact that hardly anyone is actually reading this blog yet. For all this is accomplishing right now, I might as well walk into the kitchen pantry every few days and announce my thoughts on art to the canned vegetables and shredded wheat.

But alas, I will plug on. Why? I am not quite sure.

Today I wanted to do the thing I most enjoy, which is to spend money on art supplies. So without the inconvenience of removing my butt from the couch, I moseyed over to dickblick.com and ordered a set of pan pastels.


Besides just wanting more stuff, I bought them because I've decided to make some drawings. Up until now, most of the drawing I've done has been for the purpose of being a better painter, just practice and studies. Today I was struck with an interest to do some drawings that have no further purpose than to be completed works of art in themselves. I have no idea what they are going to look like... hopefully somewhat respectable. Stay tuned!

Here's a drawing done with pan pastels that I really liked, by Sydney McGinley.

Cute baby drawing

It's going to be awhile before I have kids, so I am very happy to have found a constructive channel for my baby-brain. This is a sketch I did the other day for my next painting.
