the ESSENCE of Yogi....

(drawing of Yogi by Gary Rith)
OK, so the last 2 days I have told you I have been trying to do brush drawings that are NOT detailed, just a few strokes to capture a picture, right?
You know I babysit Yogi sometimes, we walk, run, he comes over to play with our cat and dog.  He is covered with adorable curls!  Therefore, a series of curls, just a few, captures Yogi.
What I realize about a drawing method like this:  what you do is think...in a different language.  Let's say you practice speaking German....then when you arrive in Berlin you flip a switch in your brain "OK, now I am going to try to think and speak in German".  It is the same, drawing like this.  It feels like you flip a switch, and look at things in a different way, does that make sense?

I freaked out a little Monday.  I had all these orders to ship, TEXAS!  ENGLAND!!!! And the purchasers are like "yeah, this will get here in time for Christmas, right?"
 and I am like *gulp*....
do you think the PO can get a package to Texas or England from NY in a week....????????????????????
my wife tells me not to worry about it
"hey, they paid...you shipped, you did your part!!!!!"
*gulp!*

You can see Yogi came with me to the PO....YES, I have a Swiss post bag to carry parcels to the PO, suits our weather, right?
Have an awesome Thursday!
