New Stars

All sorts of new changes going on in the world of Ricketts right now.  After 9 years as a receptionist, I finally got a new job as a Web Artist at Age of Learning.  I will be making art for kids from now on.  As Squibble says, "It is not the stars that hold our destinies, but ourselves".

Life drawing

This past Friday I attended the Gallery Girls' Drawing Marathon Model Fundraiser at the Silver Drawing Academy.  Sometimes I forget how much fun it is to draw large and get loose.  It also helps when you draw just right of Steven Silver and sneaking peeks at what he is doing. :)



Squiggle

 

 

I think all artist have their version of the squiggle-art, that exercise where you make random squiggles on a page and see what you can find in them. I mostly use this when my mind is full of junk.  It is therapeutic to make lines of pure emotion then go back with a rational eye to pick the shapes and patterns.  And sometimes you get lucky and find something cool.

 

 



 

 

 



 



Taking my sweet time....

Progress is being made. Slow progress, but progress still.
