Aunt Bee, I know it’s late, but I’m’a swing by’n pick up piece’at pie.
Technical: I found the reference photo on Google by doing a search of images. I displayed it on my large desktop monitor while I sketched it free hand on my iPad using Procreate. Here are the two images. Sure I would do things differently, if given another chance. I could go back and do more, but I called it quits at a point along the way.
Evolution is change over time. Perhaps we should not underestimate extinction.
Charles Darwin wrote, “It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.”
I’ve tried this view before in Paper 53; now, with Procreate I have a few more features to choose from. At any rate, I feel a little better about doing trees in Procreate.
(Yet again, and that’s it, basta.)
I’ve been practicing yoga since 2011, and I realize – for me at least – it’s all in the nose. Whether at a studio under formal, individualized attention, a more loosely structured fitness center, or here at home, my nose muscles are finally toned enough that I can begin to learn from the story that my own breathing is telling me. And for that I need air – lots of it. I had been on various breathing diets, as it were, in conjunction with meditation, spirituality, and even organized monasticism, but for reasons that I promise to honor but not discuss, yoga has somehow empowered me to admit that I, indeed, want more, much more out of air, and that I need to associate myself with others who interact with it proactively and in front of whom I can honestly say, “I’m Paul, and I’m an underbreather.”
