Face #23

14X17"
Pen and ink

I love vacation time--it gives me an opportunity to finish projects like this one. This face has been sitting in the studio for a couple of months now, waiting for those rare moments when I have a chance to do something with it. This past week I had two entire days to spend in the studio--yeah!!! Now, some people out there may wonder why I would spend hours "working" on a drawing like this when I'm on vacation. It IS work, but somehow it doesn't feel the same as sitting at my desk and working on the computer. There's an incredible sense of energy I get by bringing something to life, by taking a blank piece of paper and transforming it into something else. Does it take time and mental energy? Yes. Do I feel tired at the end of the day? Usually. But it's a worthwhile venture to me.
