I am such a lazy artist. I am always running out of room because I neglect to measure and draw marks or lines of scale. As a result, the hair isn’t accurate to the photo. Nevertheless, here is my attempt to draw the beautiful Rachel Wiesz:

Looks pretty darn good to me. 😃

Well…. the main drain line taking waste water out of the house into the septic tank somehow got blocked and backed up into this overflow drain we have for the water softener…. and all of that mess ended up all over the basement floor….💩💩💩🤢

Lovely. I’ve probably told you about that keychain J had, “If it has tires or testicles, it’s gonna give you grief”. They should add “If you own a home” too. 😜

I’ve never been able to maintain a journal, except for while traveling. I keep an account of the way each day was spent and what sights were seen. And helps me remember what’s in all my photos!

I have kept one since 1985, on a daily basis. I find it very useful for maintaining the habit of writing.

You call it lazy I call it over enthusiastic. Having the talent to draw is something I envy… if I were to draw I’d totally get over excited and just throw myself in without thinking.
That being said this is great. It shows you’ve got a talent for this sketching game. Don’t be put off by vanity, just enjoy what you do, learn from it and keep astounding yourself and others.

Cameron, thank you so much! That is spot on, I do get excited about the drawing. Then I call it finished before I’ve refined it completely. The work I’ve taken my time on comes out so much better. Nevertheless, you are right, with time I will learn and improve. Especially with encouragement like yours! Thank you again!
