sketchy, day 6: that sinking feeling
most of my sketches seem to be either from real life or completely from inside my head. there's an emotional component no matter what it is, but this sketch was an attempt to capture a feeling, while also drawing from the landscape around me. i guess i'm working on tightening up and improving the way in which i draw, while also thinking about what it is i'd like to say with my drawings. so much of it still feels unconscious. reminds me of that ani song:
Art is why I get up in the morning; my definition ends there.
You know it doesn't seem fair,
That I'm living for something I can't even define.
- From Out of Habit, Ani DiFranco
more and more, i'd like my sketches and observations to become the basis for paintings. but my paintings are so slow, i wonder if i'll ever get anywhere with them.

the sketch below is of kehoe waiting for christmas (she loves presents).
