Mid-week nine

Its already the ninth week of this journey, and I have still so much I have not yet tried. One of my concerns is that I will go off in too many directions at once and not get to my true destination. But hey, its the journey that counts, isn't it?

Alex and I went to see Inception yesterday. Quite intriguing concept that is well done, but leaves me guessing as to what is real. Brings up the question. Is this life the real dream? When will we know what is real and what is just a pale imitation of a dream?

On to my creative endeavors this week so far. Here is a study of an golden eagle that I did sitting outside on Monday with mom. I may want to learn how to do this properly in oils someday! This is done with water soluble Inktense and Graphite pencils.

On Tuesday I worked outside with pastels. I've always loved the creamy texture and rich colours some artists are able to produce using pastels. Difficult medium to control.

I also did an abstract, but I'm not sure that I'm finished with it yet.
