The Nude Manequin

February 23rd, 2009

I have scantily clad women as wallpaper on my PC. I tell myself that they are for figure drawing practice. I have over 2000 of them. Tonight, my manequin assumed the provocative pose that was on my monitor. I tried to capture it in Rose Art watercolors. He’s a naughty manequin.

Also, tonight’s EDM challenge was to draw something I am thankful for. This one was tough considering the parameters I’ve placed on myself for this challenge. I thought of my family, but how do I represent my whole family on a page that’s 3.5″x5″? I thought about my home, my health, my job… The problem is that “What I’m thankful for” isn’t a thing, but an abstract idea. No, what I’m most thankful for is Time. Time to do the things I love. Time to work. Time to myself. But most importantly, I’m thankful for the time that I get to spend with friends and family. My time with my loved ones is limited, and I cherish every second of it. God speed, Mike, rest in peace.

I too like the clock. A few minutes before 12… midnight… the end.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I cannot, however, take credit for the composition of the clock. I used a photo reference found at http://de-vino.blogspot.com/2008/12/time-and-timing.html .
