Well needed rest....

(C) 2015 Dale DiMauro

This is a drawing I started last winter when my wife was taking a nap on our couch. She often works late into the night grading papers as an English teacher. She often dozes off the following day on our couch, to catch up on sleep following dinner. I prefer to capture my subjects in their natural state, and this is often hers. The original image includes her lower legs but was cropped out to better fit on the screen.

I started a new watercolor this weekend of a rural scene with a barn and fall foliage but do not want to post it until it is a little further along. However, prior to Christmas I had an eye exam, sensing I needed an adjustment to my eye prescription. Sure enough, I needed a new prescription and am anticipating the arrival of new glasses. I have had the current glasses for over ten years. This clearer picture, hopefully, will help me create more inspired paintings.
