Feather, flower, whatever
I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.
Today's drawing is a_________.
Today's tip: You don't have to interpret your work for people. They can make up their own minds. If it needs a label to make any sense at all, you failed to communicate anything with the actual artwork. I realise that I just threw the whole school of conceptual art out with that comment, I don't care, you can tell them where I live, I'm ready!
(In conceptual art the concept is so much more important than the art that the art can even be made by some else and often is, most of it cannot be understood at all without the labels. Most of the Turner Prize stuff is conceptual art.).

Kingfisher in flight
I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is a kingfisher in flight. (Actually yesterday's as I didn't manage to draw, happens a lot lately, two year olds are full on!)
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

Flower on blue and why draw?
I'm creating a drawing a day, and the #drawingadayclub to share some beauty and tolerance, to intersperse the mundane and frightening content that makes up so much of our social media.
I'm creating a drawing a day to inspire other artists to return to art, share more art, or just work for pleasure in secret because I reminded them they love it - whatever their art form.
I'm creating a drawing a day, to grow as myself and set a good example to my children of creativity, purpose and persistence.
I'm creating a drawing a day to bring diverse people together over their love of art, people who never would have connected, who comment, join in, and in turn help one another.
I'm creating a drawing a day because people message me to say it helps them.

Frog
I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
I've been gardening today and I disturbed several frogs while clearing out a stream. I learned that "Reeds are round and sedges have edges."
