Rose

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, for practice and fun, to see what I learn by it.
Today's is a rose. (Actually yesterday's)

Rose, a present from my daughter!

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

Today's is a rose my daughter gave me, she's eight, sometimes I think children have trouble getting presents for their parents, they seldom have any money not given them by their parents and they are still trying to work out the adult world (good luck with that one!) But my daughter really aced it when she brought me a rose "For my drawing."

Printed roses

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

Today's are roses. I have made a foam sheet printing "block" and printed two roses then worked into one of them. It's all done with Derwent Inktense ink blocks and inktense solid ink pencils.

Rose, peach.

I realise I wouldn't draw on many days if I hadn't said I would. Days it's too late, days I feel sick, days that I'm away... Without the dicapline of EVERY day, I expect I would draw once a month.

Rose with an aura!

Today's is a rose with an aura. My mum often draws things with their life energy visibly represented, my brother even comes a team for it " auras of zing"!

So this is a rose with auras of zing!

Rose By Kirsteen Lyons

Here is my drawing a day for today. A rose from the flowers my husband got me.

From Dragons to Dragonflies.

A drawing a day, why am I doing it?

I'm a planner, I have my whole year, and indeed my whole life worked out on paper (I often have to alter the small stuff but the big stuff stays) yet I decided to do the drawing a day idea on impulse! I'm finding out WHILE I am doing it WHY I am doing it!

It's not for commercial gain, I haven't worked out how to make it pay out money, but it does seem to be paying off.

• It makes me draw and then I feel good.
• It puts something solely for me in my day of nappies, a lot of laundry, and school runs.
• Many of my friends seem to be following the results with enjoyment.
• If I really keep it up all year my drawing is bound to improve.
• I was inspired by Dominic Roberts doing it and some other artists I know have been inspired by me.
• It adds a little to the general level of light in the world, something on your computer that is not bad news. X

Thank you, Kirsteen

You may have noticed I didn't start this on the first of January, so I'm catching up so here are four drawings!
