it has been well over a week since i have been out in my kayak so i decided that, no matter how tired i was this morning, i needed to go. and i'm glad i did. it is a great way to start the morning. it really sets the mood for the entire day.
when i left the house i had no intention of doing a drawing. but as i got closer to the lake (which took a lot longer because i forgot about the stupid road closing and forgot to take the detour and had to come up with my own detour... anyway...) i decided that i should probably start doing some before the summer slips away. so, as i paddled out into the water a thought came to me... and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
On July 9 my company, WQLN, is presenting Music Fest, an all day folk/bluegrass festival. using the woodstock dove as inspiration, i created a guitar playing chicken which has become a main symbol for Music Fest. so, my brilliant idea was to do a drawing of the woodstock dove. it seemed like an easy enough idea. well, as i have discovered and re-discovered countless times, it does not matter how easy a design may seem, if you do not plan it ahead, chances are, it will not end well.i guess if you turn your head and squint the finished product does resemble an older, fatter woodstock dove. it actually turned out so poorly that i'm not going to post the picture. luckily i had my camera today and snapped a few pictures so that this entry is not completely void of pictures. if you feel you need to see it out of some morbid curiosity just follow the link at the bottom of the page.
one good thing that came out of this horrible drawing was that i was driven to come up with something better for the next time. and i think that i have. well, it may not be a better idea, but at least next time i'll have a plan.
