Osprey and an art tip you can reject if you disagree!

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Art tip: Try not to tell people what to think (about your art).

I once did a painting of a wave, and sold it to a woman who loved it because it "reminded her of her grandfather in his rocking chair." Who knows what connections people make. I feel they are all valid, what others see in your art, the secret to selling art (or just showing it to people) is to shut up and let them make them, if you start explaining you may violate one of their ideas about your work, and since you are the artist, and must know, they get the idea they are wrong and no longer want your work! I've put plenty of people off by letting my mouth run, some even had their purse on their hand at the time! This goes double for excuses "It's not really finished because..." "It would have been better if..." DO NOT make excuses, ether don't show people or embrace their right to like it!

Bird. Raptor? Bird of prey?

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is a bird, no doubt someone will tell me what kind. I love birds but I was scared of being labeled a bird watcher as a teen-ager so I didn't listen when my dad taught me all about them. I was seldom a sullen teenager, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Owl

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, not for profit, just for the art of it. It's good dicapline and good fun.

Today's drawing is an owl.

I once stroke a post on inspiration and that is where I went for mine today!
