| "Charcoal Sketch: Female Portrait," charcoal, 24"h x 20"w framed by Jill Banks |
Today was my miscellaneous day. Randy and I scraped and sanded some of those in question paintings to make sure the backgrounds stayed in the background (they don't if the paint is too thick or lively). And, I worked for a good while on my inventory system. Exciting, I know. I've been working on building it using Flick! since mid-last year ... but since last year went roaring by, I have a lot of backtracking to do.
And, then Randy and I had a candlelit dinner at home. Something I've been hoping for lately. There's snow on the ground outside and fire, reflections and warmth inside. What is better than that?
I decided my image of the day would reflect my work of the day. This drawing, that I framed in late December really hasn't been seen before ... except when I was showing one of my portrait clients a drawing and had to pass by this one in my sketchbook. A forgotten sketch framed and put up in my foyer. It happens to be one of my rediscovered favorites because of the painterly-ness of it. See John Singer Sargent's drawings. He drew like this. This one's not yet in my inventory. She has plenty of company.
