Charlie and the Moon

 I am drawing quite a lot at present, it is good for the mind. . . One of my latest is this. It is based on a 11th century ink drawing on silk by Li Cheng and called Buddhist Temple in the Mountains.

I drew my old friend Charlie the other day using a telescope I had given him just a few days before. His wife had then taken a picture of him and sent it to me. Anyway I am now pondering the next thing to draw. It is an odd thing because you really need to feel something that makes you go OOOOooooo that's it I will draw that and I have yet to find my next little project . . . . . Manet has been suggested so we will see.

I am quietly working my way through a few well known paintings although I'm drawing them rather than painting them which would take far too long and I am far too old to do such things as well as not having the patience to complete such tasks. Anyway my last picture was American Gothic. Not really a lot of room for Artistic Licence with this one so I stuck fairly close to the original I have now started on my next drawing of what is a very well known painting here in Britain it is The Monarch of the Glen. Not what I was planning to draw but it turned up on a TV show and I thought OOOooooooo that is ideal.
