It was like this two weeks ago when I persuaded David to drive me to an outdoor session at the royal bowman near Rockwood where he sat inside the car and read while I scribbled color onto a tiny format while the wind was whipping at me - brrr - and then for my amusement he pretended to be a bear beside an archery target!

David thinking he's a bear
David is terrifying as a bear. (Colbert fans know that bears are baaaad.) Love the drawings. I don't know where all the green is coming from -- but you are south of us here in the north.
ReplyDeleteT.O. is cold as all get out.
Be careful around that bear!!!
Love Barbara
Marcia, you are a brave soul, out there painting in
ReplyDeletea hurricane while being amused by bears. Your interpretations
of the landscape are magical and filled with energy.
ps, I dropped in to a life drawing session yesterday.
Bad scene, I dropped out as fast as I dropped in. I hate it
when two guys sit and chat throughout the session. It was a small
space as well. Do you have to deal with this type of thing?
You keep me inspired to forge forward!
Doug
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to call this post in retrospect - 'hug a bear'. It was so cold and windy that day, that I dragged the bear out with me. We went on back country roads which pleased him enormously and gave him ideas for bicycle rides. Come to think of it, I don't know where all the green came from!
love, Marcia
Doug,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your vote of confidence - but I assure you I'm never a brave soul and on that day I was very ambivalent.
It's unfortunate that two people were chatting while you were trying to draw, extremely inconsiderate I'd say - drawing requires enormous concentration. How did the others feel. Maybe you could draw up some ground rules. Our group is very respectful in this regard.
I hope you go back - you're a natural drawer! and it's good for the soul!!
