I have been continuing to go through my sketchbook and
repurposing my blind contour garden sketches.
It’s funny how something you did so long ago can be pertinent and useful
today. This particular sketch had a
strong suggestion of landscape in its foundation. As I developed it and worked into it with oil
pastels I began to focus on remembering vacations in Wisconsin. There are incredible geographic land
formations in Wisconsin and I am attracted to the powerful forces of Mother
Nature that created them. I thought
quite heavily about the Driftless regions of Wisconsin and the Kettle Moraines
as I worked on this drawing. It was a
respite from life to work on this and it took quite a bit of time, working during
multiple sessions. I call this “The
Driftless,” named after the driftless region in Wisconsin. It stands as a reminder of the power of
Mother Earth to continuously transform and impact our world.
When I first became a blogger it was difficult to know if I had readers and visitors coming to my blog. I’d post and be met by the sounds of crickets. Then, I branched out into the world of the blogosphere, a world I didn't know really existed. From my ventures, I met a lot of interesting bloggers. I've started following and commenting on numerous blogs, for you see, prior to my outings, I too was out among the crickets. Lurking about but seldom saying anything. A fellow blogger I've met through my journeys around the blogosphere is Melissa Maygrove . She had the brilliant idea to have a Follow Fest , where we share about who we are, what we do and most importantly, how you can connect with us further. It is my intention through joining Follow Fest, that I’ll connect with many more readers and people interested enough in what I do to want to learn more by following. So, here goes my entry for the fest. Name: Stephanie Rose Bird Fiction or
