I have never been able to make up my mind whether to concentrate on art, writing or natural history. I usually concentrate on one of the three for a while, then concentrate on another of the three. Art, writing and natural history are intwined in my life and often involve teaching a combination of these subjects.

Portrait and Figure Studio, Oct. 6
Our model
Watercolor sketch, 4 minutes, 4 inches by six inches
Watercolor sketch, 5 minutes, 4 inches by six inches
The model sat for four minutes but I continued working on the sketch for an additional minute or two. I had noted a few bits of information that I had not recorded in the first four minutes.
Watercolor, 1 1/4 hours, (three sittings), 8 inches by 10 inches
Adjusting the lips was next on my agenda, but I received a phone call and decided I had to leave.
I worked on the portrait for another hour at home, using the photo I took for information. This is still a sketch and as I look at it, I see changes that could be made but I feel I made progress.
This was the last Portrait and Figure Studio until November. My hope is to continue to do a portrait sketch every week until then.
