Hello my Artsy friends, so nice that you could pop by.
We had a lovely sunny weekend after getting a large dump of snow on Friday. Thank goodness for wonderful neighbours. . . Dave was heading up the road, noticed that our lane way was full of snow and swung in a did a few passes to open it up for us. Country folk are the best.
It's been a bit of a quiet week, not sure why but I welcome it just the same - time for reflection and rest. We all need to take these moments and accept them as gifts - they are offered to us because we need them.
I showed you the word I chose for 2013 in my last post but I continued to work on this piece after I photographed it for you.
I had an art teacher tell me once 'Don't overwork a piece, know when it's enough' - that's a tough one. There are times when I will return again and again tweaking here, adding a little more there. . . It's always a good idea to step away for a while when you are near completion - let it rest for a while then see if it still needs additional work.
That's what I did with my 'Balance'. Pens and colour can add some wonderful detail if you are so inclined. . . it gives it flourish.
Drawing should be fun, this was tonnes-o-fun.
Have a wonderful week folks.
Sheila
