This is my 2011 art project: I'm going to attempt to do one drawing every day of the year. The drawings can be any medium, any size, any level of care and completion. I'm looking forward to seeing how my work evolves and improves, and whether this practice helps me to be more organized and "together" in the rest of my life pursuits.

"A" painting set-up

This is the still life I've set up for my "A" painting (where everything in the painting starts with an A.) This is not the angle I'm planning on painting it from - I'm going to stand and look down on it - but I was sitting in my studio wondering what to draw, and I looked over and saw the still life from an unaccustomed angle. I've been living with the set-up for awhile, to see if it's right. It's actually not bad from this angle, but I still think I'll paint it from above. (Can you tell what's going to be in it? Let's see... African violet, anvil, arrowhead, antler, ace of hearts, ampersand, amber bowl, avocado seed... I still need something in the bowl...)

    Such alchemical elements in this still life! Surely you can find something evoking mysticism to fill your amber bowl?!
