2017…The Year of Drawing

bonniehull

I decided at the beginning of 2017 that this would be a year of drawing.  I joined a life drawing group, I had a month-long drawing AIR at Salem Art Association’s Annex, I drew my friends, my family, my food (and WITH my food), my garden, my ideas, jokes, everything.  That was the idea…everything, everyday.  I taught a drawing class, I drew in paint and in books and on tiny scraps of paper, on my lamp shades.  I drew at events, I drew when I was sad, I drew in the car.  I drew with Salem Sketchers.  I drew with my right hand (mostly) and with my left…It was fun…a quick review:   (and BTW for the year ahead I changed the blog format…do give me your feedback “I love it” is acceptable and so is “I hate it”…)…

 

  

Okay…I think you get the idea.  For Christmas this year I got very sick and was rendered speechless…but I still made a drawing…

then I tidied up and threw a lot of bad drawings away…

so on we go into 2018…Happy New Year friends!

  8. Love your drawings! I’ve always wanted to draw. Took a class from Claudia Zimmerman. I found out that I didn’t love it. So, my dear, I’ll enjoy your work. I want you to draw on one of my lampshades! Happy 2018!

  10. Happy new year Bonnie,

    I so enjoy your drawings. I have tried to find the right words to say how much I admire them: their ease, sensitivity, honesty … They make me feel happy and optimistic and I love the thought of you drawing your way through your adventures. Thank you for that.
