  3. The kids have learned a little about blind contour in their art classes this year! Is this a pic of Avery?

  8. I would not even attempt to show what I drew blind. Of course, I wouldn't show what I drew, sighted. I am the world's lousiest artist. Thankfully, you are not.

  9. I'm quite impressed, actually! I don't think the eyes would be inside the glasses if I had done it! ha!

  10. Excellent

    When I was in school one of my art teachers assigned us the task of blind drawing without lifting our pen or pencil so that the sketch was one continuous line .. not easy

  13. OH good, I hope you draw more people. I have missed seeing your people. People look like this when I draw them with my eyes open.

  14. That is really well made! I am not sure I could do this at all.;) In fact, you draw portraits better with your eyes closed than I would with my eyes open.;)
    Have a great Sunday and a week Stevie.;)

    I visited a modern art museum in Dublin today. Know what - YOU missed your vocation.

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."
