Project V Day Nine: Oak Leaf

This oak leaf was a cooperative model.

So, below is the grid shot for Day Niner and I can't help but question the original intention...and I quote, "Each section works as an individual drawing but it's existence is necessary to complete one large composition", end quote.

The first few days of the project I just randomly picked a square and banged out a drawing. Bam. Done. Now I pick a subject according to shape and color and must select a square with balance in mind. The outside squares are determining my square for the day and what it will contain. Does that still make each square wholly unique and complete? How could it? Ultimately each square is simply a cog in the big machine but the machine is the "it"...the single entity. Words, words, words....

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?

Project VII-Day Thirty: Grass

And that is a wrap! Day Thirty's photo was taken at Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield, TX earlier this summer. The labeling of each drawing evolved during the project. In the bottom left-hand corner is the sequence number of the drawing within the 30-day time frame and the location of where the reference photo was taken. My take away from this particular project was having the opportunity to spend more time with a special moment I had in nature. It allowed me to marvel at the intricacies of the plants and animals around us.

Project IV Day 25: Hoatzin Nestling

Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
