Do you ever have one of those days when every sketch you
attempt turns to crap? When every church tower points a long finger of
perspectival judgment, and even an ordinary water glass is a million shiny
surfaces reflecting doubt and self-criticism?
On days like this I retreat to the Woodland Park Zoo’s
Family Farm, where the sheep and goats are nothing but forgiving. Chewing cud
in the sunshine, blinking lazily with a what-me-worry gaze, they don’t give a
shit about today’s sketches. And suddenly, neither do I.

The sheep are always accommodating. Nice sketches of them. Some days sketching can be just frustrating, but I like the way you just moved onto something else. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteBravo, Tina! Why don't you come and preach this to my congregation and me? It's wonderful wisdom.
