Each day is different from the others because the variety prevents a set routine. Yesterday was full of variety – preparing the entry form for the Ag Art show, talking to someone who wants a portrait drawn, visiting with someone else who is looking for “authentic California art” as a wedding gift for his sister, doing some banking along with other errands, finishing up little oddments from drawing lessons, preparing for a private lesson on portraiture, and actually drawing.
