Boots' Progress

When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work.  I told her I worked at the college ~ that my job was to teach people how to draw.  She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?"

 Just a quick look at my drawing board.  The boots are coming along ~ mainly working with only a 2B charcoal pencil.  It is always amazing to me how much more one can see in something the longer one looks at it.  At first all I saw was a pair of boots and now I am lost in all the little bits and pieces that make up each one.  God bless the shoemaker!  Tomorrow I am off to a life drawing class ~ been a long time since I have given that a whirl ~ we'll see!
