Confession, I don’t draw one drawing a day, I do 2 to 4. This way I can work ahead to cover
things like rainy days.
The drawing of today is from yesterday. I knew it was going to be a huge challenge. There’s
a lot of (murky) water and not much sunlight. I feel like I totally lost control on this one.
Today I went back to have another try. I’ll post the result of the do over tomorrow.

Another view of the waterside I drew yesterday.
I really enjoyed drawing these two drawings. From a drawing perspective but also because
something happened that made me grin every 15 minutes or so.
On the other side of the water there was a path a lot of dog owners used for their walk.
Around every 15 to 30 minutes I would hear a big splash and more sloshy sounds and a
dog owner either going berserk at their dog or start laughing hysterically because they used
to have a clean and not so muddy dog.
