How Do You Do?

greeting cards and grinding wheels
 the words of
   days
 gone by
   are
picturesque
  clouds.

Gilders & Glass Dealers
   stand at counters
   long gone
  smudged aprons
  hard soled shoes.

   The herds on the plains
      are still the same,
    though sparse.

  The rain on the roof
     is still  the  same,
  same,  same,  same, same
            as
       what,
         why
     is  still the  same.

Drawing Prompts-Mountain of cupcakes

I am moving  some of the handy  art  tools out of the closet and on to the coffeetable. I  found this Doodle While You Work by Staffan Gnosspelius

book….got  it  at  the  dollar  store about 6years ago.  I  drew in it  while the gentleman I sat with snoozed .  

     And  I have  another  really  nice one of  these  drawing prompt books  I  got  from my son for Christmas a few  years back.   I  am  always intimidated by drawing from memory but as I  don’t  try  to  stress and  just mess  around  with  what  I  think it  would  look  like I have  fun  and discover that imprecise drawings  can be very expressive and interesting ;  And  of  course empowering to go on and  continiuing drawing and learning  how  to  see  things…..

   So  here first  is  the  page  I  did  today….

   the  prompt  was “complete the cupcake mountain devoured by you and your  colleagues each week…and  yes,  I did  not  completely  conform to  the request  because  as  I  began  to  draw  this scene  came into my brain  and  I  let it out……
