Bowl Fruitcopyright Susan Borgas
An apple a day keeps the doctor away or so the old saying says. Perhaps it should be draw a piece of fruit a day keeps the artist eye and hand cordination healthy.
My home is overflowing with items to draw and yet so often I sit like a stunned mullet wondering what to sketch. It sort of goes like this when I do make an effort.
- Open fridge door....... shut fridge door; scary stuff in there!
- Look inside my cupboards..... nope nothing to interest me but do take note of the dust over cupboard that needs cleaning.
- Walk around studio...... notice paintings that need to be completed.
- Poke my nose outdoors and nearly freeze in the process...... shelve that idea.
- Check my email and RSS feeds....... nope, no ideas there
- Back to the studio and do some work on a painting to avoid sketching.

Not a professional artist.
But I get what you say. It is so annoying sometimes. :)
Very good drawing! The hardest thing for me is to start - "I sit like a stunned mullet" too (great analogy, btw!)I'm learning to work through the hesitation. A little diligence usually pays off.
Chuckle..... nothing like a bit of silliness when procrastinating.
Isn't it funny how other peoples stuff is always interesting to draw, but not our own? Same problem- all this uninteresting junk lying around the house and I want to attend flea markets- where I can buy other peoples old junk. If this house didn't have walls, the clutter would spill into the street. :D
I have been known to poke around in garage sales myself. Last weekend I had the opportunity to check out a lovely secondhand shop in Mannum of South Australia. Now this isn't an ordinary secondhand shop. More in the line of antiques with lots of glassware. I had my credit card safely tucked firmly away in my purse..... maybe next visit I will spend some money! LOL!!!
