here's a poem that hangs on the wall above my computer
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
by Portia Nelson
1
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in
I am lost ... I am helpless,
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
2
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place,
but, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
3
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
5
I walk down another street.

Two Models at Life Drawing
We have been lucky at life drawing lately with new people wanting to model for us.
I took to last weeks class small canvases and drew on them, above in sepia pencil and below in chalk pastel.
There is a local exhibition coming up in two Saturdays from now, at Queens birthday weekend, and all the exhibitors will be working on their paintings all day at the exhibition venue and these two canvases I shall take along to paint there. There will be musicians there too playing live in the hall and it should be a nice time.

Charcoal sketch on canvas
I like this one done at life drawing class last week. Willow charcoal on canvas this will become a painting
Water Colour Pencil
I took my water colour pencils to a jam session at Graham's 2 Saturdays ago and drew this picture of Robyn playing her bass guitar.
At life drawing class I did this sketch on canvas with a sepia watercolour pencil instead of pastels or willow charcoal. It will become a painting.
