BEFORE
Ruby Throated Hummingbird
Drawing |
Many of my colleagues know, I rarely create a piece of art which I am totally satisfied with. I can usually live with it, sometimes even taking years for me to really like it. The hummingbird drawing however, was on my black list of "terribles" and I could no longer bear looking it at anymore, even though I had hung the artwork in a dark wall of the stairwell in an attempt to obscure it from view.
So today, I felt I needed to take the chance and attempt to revive that drawing. I also needed to regain my confidence which has been escaping me these past dark wintery months. I blame it on the seasons...it's just easier that way.
As I took the dreaded drawing out of it's frame and laid it on the table, I took out my Prismacolors and chose a chocolate brown pencil. I was amazed at what little time it took me to achieve what I hadn't in my first attempt.
It was just the change I needed. I am even starting to like it now.
