The background work

Behind the work of creating art is the background work of
deciding what to create, buying supplies, making the work,
filing the receipts for everything you spend money on, and
so on.  It was a background work weekend.

I really wanted time to draw, but it didn't happen.  And 
sometimes coincidence is magic, because I picked up a
notebook and carried it downstairs, thinking,"I'll
draw tomorrow,"and found this sketch that I like.  I 
think it was prep for a painting. The painting didn't 
happen (yet), the drawing did.

Have an enjoying every part of your work day.

    I am always inspired by your portrait drawings. I love your drawing technique. I hope you do make a painting using this one day.

    Hi Evelyn,

    Who knows where things will go. As soon as I'm finished my current
    work, I think I may go to landscape for awhile. Love your work.

    XOXOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
