Getting back to basics with life drawing.

Can't hide behind my usual 'illustratory' interpretations of the human form. Read that as the 'lazy' way. Its good to face, I am so rusty and working through the process of looking closely again...

I ran away to the mountains this weekend to ski many kms and try to 'exercise out' my sickness.

Instead, I got a little more sick but it was worth breathing in clean mountain air :)

We got back to ski lodge and coincidentally the men's 30 K x-country competition was playing on the olympic channel. What a treat, tired and happy, sipping hot chocolate, eating jam sandwiches and being amazed at how these athletes can see 10000 times faster than we can!

It is wonderful to see British Columbia host the Olympics and I love the energy it has brought to Canada. I was sad to read on DRAWN! last week that BC's arts funding was cut by 95% last year. I guess something has to give...

All in all, it was good trip.

Hi friends,

I am working on a new children's book for my magician client.

Just saying that makes me thank my lucky stars for having clients,... that are magicians!

More soon, I hope.
