Here we are at the end of February, and here is my last drawing for #Figuary2020. This is number 14 in the series, which means I’ve averaged roughly a drawing every two days.
On my visit to the museum, I also paid a visit to Aristotle and rendered him in graphite. After rendering, I am now reading up on what is left to us of his thoughts.
I spent the afternoon in the Museum drawing from antique Greek and Roman sculptures. How could I pass up Caesar?
Stand fast and meet the challenges presented to you. Don’t be afraid to set your boundaries. No is just as beneficial and valid as yes.
Be grateful for what you do have, not ungrateful for that which you don’t.Making time to stop and reflect upon what you have can give you a more calming perspective, because we are often more focused on what we want, not yet have, or that which we no longer have.
What’s around the corner? You’ll only know if you look. The unknown lies in the realm of imagination and can take on any shape or size you can conceive of.

Figurary #9 was taking its time.I had to draw many many lines.Other things got in the way.What more can I say?

Day four of #figuary. This time I paid attention to keeping this drawing simpler and leaving the polish off.
I have other artwork to put time into, so I can’t spend much time on these #figuary drawings. But, I guess that’s the aim of the exercise, to produce expressive drawings. In that case, this one is overworked.
I came across #Figuary, February as the month of the figure, it was the excuse I needed to embark upon a drawing a figure per day.
Three of my paintings are touring with the Magical Dreams V exhibition organised by Bator Art Gallery. The next exhibition opens in Warsaw, Poland, Jan 9. 2020.
It’s said that 10,000 hours of deliberate practice is required to master anything. So if you did roughly three hours a day, every day (OK, one day off), it would take you approximately 10 years to reach mastery. Let that…
I usually don’t get that attached to my paintings. I just sold my Rembrandt portrait. I must admit a certain amount of reluctance because, I enjoy having the old chap around the studio.
