I've been kind of slacking off here, lately. Art is still happening (though, admittedly, not as much as last year), I've just been forgetting to share it here...
Here are a few of the things i did in June...
Waitiing....
Keiran had a dance recital - it was a city-wide dance recital for all the high school dance classes. I didn't feel like going because they were going to be performing them at their own school a week or two later... were I wouldn't have to buy a ticket... there would be fewer performances to sit through... and a smaller audience. Also, teh city-wide performance was at Aden Bowman Collegiate - where I went for grades 9-11... and I do not have fond memories of the place...
They got to the school on their own or with classmates and I had to pick them up, so I rode the Tandem to J. S. Wood Branch Library and waited there for them to wander over and meet me. I drew the above picture in my sketchbook while waiting.
Added to the Critters on Bicycles Sketchbook. No one had suggested Track Cyclists. so...
Another added to the Critters on Bicycles Sketchbook. I'd planned to do a BUNCH in June... but these ended up being the only two...
Jackrabbit Rocks a BMX at the Skatepark - 28cmx35cm (11"x14") - ink on paper
Another Critter on a Bicycle, but not in the Sketchbook...
Initially kind of did this one to submit to the group art show done as part of the Nature City Festival... but then... didn't...
The theme this year is Urban Jackrabbits.
The show is currently up at City Perk Cafe in Saskatoon and will be up until August 26th.
Another drawing in the sketchbook for one of Virtual Studio's (on Twitter: @StudioTeaBreak ) Thursday Portrait Challenges. This one is based on ‘Woman Waiting for the Moon to Rise’ painted by Uemura Shōen in 1944
Another drawing in the sketchbook, also for one of Virtual Studio's (on Twitter: @StudioTeaBreak ) Thursday Portrait Challenges. This one was based on ‘Young man tuning a lute’, painted around 1529-1530 in oils on panel by Jacopo Carucci.
Finally, another waiting room drawing of an older fella that was VERY INTERESTED in whatever was on the waiting room TV...
Great variety. I particularly like the two “waiting” pictures.

DeleteReally like your ‘guy into the tv’.But your take on ‘woman waiting for the moon to rise’ nails it.
