Even though I swore "no new drawing" for the street painting, I am designing something specifically for a 6 x 6 foot piece of parking lot. I drew while on vacation ( we went to the mining & ghost town of Jerome north of Phoenix.) I drew these on the trip. After working up the figure (left) I felt her arm was all wrong and should be bent. Then I couldn't decide what to put in the hand. Finally chose a bird, but not a solid one. I may draw it last, transparent so her hand shows through. Did I get the idea from being in a famous ghost town? A spirit bird flying from her hand? And, there's not enough water at the bottom and side . . .the fish are supposed to have more room. Really, I have a lot of figuring to do. Next time I won't draw on lined paper, which just confuses things further!What I look forward to immensely, is sitting in a big black square, with time to draw! It feels like magic drawing living things, right on the street! I've always enjoyed the idea of making something from nothing.

That's just great - I do hope you'll show it to us when you've got it all finished!
