Progress follows persistence

Woke today with a list of tasks to accomplish.  I dressed and took care of family administrative duties, then saddled up on my 1978 Schwinn Suburban bicycle.  I road down along the river for a quarter mile, then crossed the bridge and road about 2 miles to do some shopping and banking.  Back across the river to the Post Office and grocery store, before heading for home.  1 1/2 hours later, I walk up the front steps with a clear mind, lifted spirits and energized body.  What a glorious day to be out with sun shining bright and a cool spring wind pushing me along, or giving me a challenge depending on my direction.

I came home ready to attack some business planning and goal setting, and take care of correspondence.  With that successfully completed, I sat down at the table to spend some time with my drawing projectIt seems like this floral motif is deciding to be in grisaille (a style of monochromatic painting in shades of gray.) I can always wash bright clear color over the underdrawing if I decide to later on.  I am digging the grays right now. I also drafted a pattern for turning this piece of fabric into a wristlet purse.

Thanks for visiting - see you tomorrow.
