Back in May, I posted a still life I made many years ago of a cabbage and potatoes. This drawing is its distant cousin.
I drew this from a photograph, and like the lake of two posts ago, I find it provides a good practice for some drawing outdoors that I’m hoping to do — en plein air. But it also has the same basic forms as the earlier still life. Indeed, I was thinking of getting some potatoes and inventing a landscape from a still life perhaps?
One of the wonderful things about drawing is the way it lets you take imaginative journies. I can vicariously visit the rocky outcropping by drawing it from a photo. And I can travel there even with some potatoes too? I don’t necessarily need a travel agent to find a locale that’s very bucolic and peaceful where I can bask in the warmth of the sun.

Not a bad idea. Use the potoatoes for landscape rocks. You could put them in your tub and have a lake with rocky shores. If the painting is not going that well you can fry them and enjoy with a beer in front of the tv.
I think you should go outside and suffer like Lisa.
God bless you wrjones! I should go out and suffer. Actually I did go outdoors and suffer a little the other day. Got to post that one. But it involved only a little suffering.
Still, you have to admit the advantages of frying and eating the landscape afterwards!

Aletha – I would love to paint and eat with you.
By the way, it is Novemember now – time for another piece. I say we paint a turkey – it will go very nicely with the mashed potatoes.
