Sunday Sketches and the cool Sophia crowd here!Had a weird 3 weeks there, where not only did I have to visit a dentist, a doctor for weird infection (RESOLVED) and my huge painting project to contend with, but where, for some reason, I kept & kept getting these fiverr gigs which caused an even greater demand of my time. Now - I end up doing these highly elaborate drawings for what amounts to chump change, & though in general the experience is enjoyable, more fun arts training, etc, it is difficult not to become surly about the whole thing when you have so much else, of seeming higher priority, nipping at your heels at the same time.
Shortly after this I also got a lenghthy translation gig which WAS well-paying but - as it pushed the Epic Painting Project aside, it also cause a certain level of consternation and annoyance. Funny how doing nothing but painting has become priority #1! Especially since, on top of it all, I've been dilatory in fulfilling my Kickstarter rewards obligations and am not as far ahead in either blogging, promoting, or even finishing the painting project as I'd like. So... it's all very iinteresting in any event! IT's hard for me not to get upset when a sense of too much to do/too little time exists. Very difficult indeed. Esp. when some of it's health related!!!
I know there are some gentle souls out there who are so organized that they could do all these things - and more - and all I can say is... bless you. I want to be like you! As for me, I just keep trying....
so this is a house, in any event, made at around that time. It came out OK - I helped myself with a printed outline template allowimg me to capture the dimensions of walls, etc, so as to leave time for the real drawing - it's not sthg I usually do, but at the time I sorta felt I had little choice.

gorgeous detail in your wonderful piece.

Beautiful picture! I'm sure people will be forgiving when it comes to your "one paint a day" exercise. "Uno propone y Dios dispone," goes the saying, and all I can say is try your best, and that's all you can do. Better to have TOO MUCH to do than nothing at all ("idle hands..." and all that). All we ask is that you keep us updated on the progress of your project(s). Love ya, M
