Back at It


Michelle gave us a few daylily corms last fall,  and this is today’s bloom.  I’ve been not drawing much the past few weeks.  That felt freeing for a while.  But when I don’t draw something I more or less just glide over the surface:  “nice daylily, that one too, ✅✅”  , checking it off mentally, not spending time with it.  I really miss seeing slowly for a few minutes a day.

It was fascinating to follow the intricacies of each petal, knowing that the form is so ephemeral and that even as I was drawing it, it was withdrawing water from the petal and gearing up for seed making.

So I numbered it, but I don’t have a goal beyond drawing something every day.  At least for now.
