A Family Tree Optical Illusion.

I saw this on Facebook.

I love optical illusions.  

How many faces do you see? 

I counted 10. 

How did you do? 

Lousy Pastel that can't be saved

I posted a couple weeks ago this drawing of the buffalo and asking for help. I knew it wasn't done and it needed something but I was stuck. Leigh suggested I was lacking a focal point. Exactly! You nailed it for me Leigh, thanks!

So, here it was before.

And here is after I did a bit of work to it.

I tried to move the viewers eye towards the buffalo and center. I'm still not happy with it though. I think the best I can do is just put it away for now and work on something else.

It's hard to find long interrupted time periods in order to draw since I have kids. Working in short time spurts makes it difficult to really get into a drawing and do quality work. Before kids I could work for hours at a time. Someday I'll get that again.

I've started some small colored pencil drawings on black board lately of yucca plants that I'll try to share with you sometime next week.

My little corner over the weekend

Over the weekend I drew this in pastel. I won't tell what my goals or intentions were for this drawing because when DR looked at it he saw meanings and objects I had intended to include.

I want your opinions, good or bad, what do you think? What do you see?
