So far, ten for ten in spending a few minutes a day doing some art.
Here’s today’s fish:

Art Every Day – Day 9
Weekends are different than the work-week, in that I have a little time for longer-term projects.
Today’s art is related to my costuming hobby, but is also practical. I’ve found myself hanging out with the archers in the Society for Creative Anachronism. I just bought a bow. I’ve made an arm guard. And I have all the appropriate 14th century-ish clothing. (I even wore my wool cloak today during archery practice because it was so cold!)
One thing I really need is a quiver to hold my arrows. So I’m making one.Continue reading “Art Every Day – Day 9”

Art Every Day – Day 8
Weekends are hard. They should actually be a great time to do art, but… no.
There are no fish to share today. I would have to fire up my ‘big’ computer, and I just don’t feel like it.
But it’s not that I haven’t explored personal expression through the various arts today, because I have, in the culinary arts and the art of writing.Continue reading “Art Every Day – Day 8”
Yesterday, I Met a Man…
Last night I sat at Writers & Books, a local shop devoted to the literary arts, writing feverishly on my NaNoWriMo novel. Though it is not my store, I positioned myself close to the main entrance to greet passers-by and explain to them why there were a bunch of people sitting and writing.
A man came in. An older man. Clean, tidy, but looking a little worn. He had come to read a poem at the Open Mic night that was happening upstairs. He asked some questions, then went upstairs to read to the crowd.
There was something about him that seemed familiar. I’ve seen it before. He was smiling, but he wasn’t all right.Continue reading “Yesterday, I Met a Man…”

Art Every Day – Day 7
The fish are multiplying. Maybe that’s why they’ve been so successful over geologic time. I spent perhaps a little too long working on this, but I kind of like the results.
Art Every Day – Day 6
Today was a difficult day to accomplish a little art. I did finally sit down in the evening and crank out this lovely:
Despite my difficult time doing a some art, the dinosaurs did get into some mischief again:

Art Every Day – Day 5
Fifteen minutes a day. That’s all I’m shooting for.
The problem with art is that time flies. Fifteen minutes easily becomes one hour. Not ideal when you’re in the office, supposedly ‘working.’
Oh well. Today I fixed the fish I was working on yesterday. I like this better.Continue reading “Art Every Day – Day 5”
Art Every Day – Day 4
A little art every day. It seems easy enough.
Today’s effort wasn’t as good as I would have liked. It’s part of the little project I began to show off yesterday. Another fish, of course.
