Yippee! By this time tomorrow two long, drawn-out, angst-inducing projects will be delivered to their respective clients and breathing room will miraculously materialize. Duration of said breathing time is undetermined, but I can guarantee I will revel in it.
To celebrate, a quickie sketch of carrots from our farm share. This week's bunch was quite quirky... full of two- and three-legged beasties which became salad with raisins in short order. After weeks and weeks of fussy, tight, particularity-driven work it felt grand to scribble and splash a bit. Whew.
Ooh! Two goodies - completion and fresh carrots!Yay! (And carrots with raisins is grand.Ever try adding a little orange peel?)
ReplyDeleteI've said it before but it's always a treat to see your sketches. Enjoy your freedom!
ReplyDeleteBelated thanks, Sherrie for the Gustave Baumann and Crawhall links on my blog. Crawhall I've long been a fan of, but have found a lot of beautiful Baumann prints for the first time. Fantastic.
Oh, I love this wonderful sketch of the carrots. They are so full of life!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love how the carrot leaves flow into the other page and how you've lightly framed the carrots and added your journal writing below. A really lovely, eye-pleasing entry.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the projects!
Wow! That looks like a great sketch for something like, say, a cookbook done in an informal style that alludes to a field journal....
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being so close to having both projects-from-heck off your desk. May the breathing room be particularly spacious and inspiring!
:-D Can you see my grin from where you are? Thanks, everyone...
ReplyDeleteIdle.. I've done pineapple in carrot/raisin salad, but I don't think orange... shall have to try it.
Susan... hmmm... yes... funny how that seems like just the thing! ;-)
I'm still reveling in time today to carve, carve, carve. Which is good, because this new print is kind of crazy. Go figure.
