Project VI-DAY FREAKIN' THIRTY: Eurasian Lynx

I thought a little sass with full-on dramatic pose was in order to celebrate the final day of the sketching project, so I give you the Eurasian Lynx sporting the I-will-eat-your-throat-for-lunch-look.  (It's kinda more of a I-resemble-a-character-from-ThunderCats-look.)  

What I learned this go around from the 30 Sketches Project is to enjoy the time spent making.  I finally realized that making art isn't about the finished piece that hangs on the wall - it's about the time spent working with the drawing, painting, film, etc. which includes thinking, dreaming, researching, and literally putting the pencil to paper.  It's the string of present moments and sacrifices that make up it's creation that is the art, it is still alive when it's in progress.  It instantly becomes a ghost of sorts when it is complete or simply a tangible by-product of practice.

Day 24: Willow Grouse, 12x9"

Willow Grouse in the house!

Day 20

I felt it necessary to do an illustration of the main characters in my pretend children's book entitled, Sheriff Farthright and Bangles: Lost in Los Angeles. Until this day, I never knew I even had a pretend children's book. It is not available in stores near you. Sheriff Farthright is a Yellow-rumped Seed-eater and his faithful steed, Bangles, is a Parrot-finch. Note Farthright's mighty stache. His badge shines as brightly as his character. Bangles is only seconds away from taking to the sky. I can actually hear Audubon rolling over in his grave due to the flagrant misuse of bird depictions.

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 ?
