After the holiday

Watching the parade

Things have settled down after the long holiday.  I forgot to take my sketchbook to Juvenile Hall this afternoon so drew a postcard for my grandson instead.  I rarely do imaginative drawing, but I enjoy drawing crowds for some reason, probably because I can!  After the fact I noticed that all the characters were male, but that probably was reflective of who I was with at the time.

I've been reading more and drawing less this summer, not a good thing.  I'm glad that I'm reading more - and wish I were reading a lot more - but I don't want to let my drawing slide because I notice a real reduction in skill if I miss only one day.  I have no excuse, I'm not overly scheduled, I could easily do more of both - and walk more too.

Oh resolutions, aren't they to be saved for January?
