Music camp.

A few photos and some quick drawings in my notebook that I carry with me always, are the extent of my artistic activity these days. I bought a book on illustrated letters from the Smithsonian archives of America Art, "More than Words". I was struck by the simplicity of the line drawings by Walt Kuhn, Betty Parsons, etc.

For the past few years, I have been trying to see and draw planes with little success, I have felt. I enjoyed just whipping these little drawings out last night, with a minimum of fussiness. I will continue to try to see planes. I know that I wasn't always successful with my drawings but kept at it anyway and now I feel a little (sometimes a lot) of progress. What I need to do now is just paint, paint, paint and just put each one away without even looking at it until I get some automatic muscle memory going. Minimum of fussiness is always the key for this somewhat lazy artist.
