Sketching

After what seems like weeks of solid rain, we finally had a clear day. It was cold, but the sun was shining and I couldn't help but spend the day outside. Spent a good hour sitting out on a little sunny knoll overlooking the bay and harbor. There were 3 or 4 deer grazing around me, so I tried to get in some sketches of them. It's amazing how much more you notice when you take the time to really study an animal and draw it, rather than just taking a picture. From an hour of just looking and attempting to draw these animals, I now know and will remember much more about their coloration, shape, the movement of their legs and ears. The same goes for the trees and plants...in the small landscape that I drew, there were so many different types of grasses. I had never really noticed it before.

Today is another beautiful day. Might head out and sketch some smaller creatures on the beach.
