Mastiff ready for a ride


With temperatures in the high side of the teens along with bright sunshine, you may see some people with their heads hanging out of their car windows today. It won't be me though. 19 is still pretty cold. I may hang my head outside my apartment door for a moment of two, but that's about all you can expect from me. I had planned on posting a dog sketch per day this week, but as you can see I got kind of lazy and only posted three. Maybe I'll just continue the project into next week. All I can seem to manage lately are these quick sketches. Sometimes, as much as I usually love it, I just don't feel like drawing.

I'm probably just staying in today. Yeah, I know it's a nice day, but what am I supposed to do? Go out and play in the snow? I went out to eat yesterday, and so that shot my entertainment money for the week. I went to the Olive Garden, which is a restaurant that Tony Bourdain would not approve of and would cause him to go into mocking mode. But what can I say, Tony? I was in Maple Grove and it mostly just houses the big chain restaurants and some of us just don't have the time, energy or money to be big food snobs. So, take that Tony. I ate at Olive Garden.

Anything else of note? I don't think so, so I'll just say "until we meet again."

Although I like him, Tony Bourdain is a for sure for sure a total food snob. The Olive Garden has great food and the salad and breadsticks are amazing. I heart the Olive Garden and am glad you got to enjoy a good meal there.

I heart your drawings too and am happy to see one anytime you draw one and so every day, every other day, once a week, whatever you choose to draw---I appreciate seeing!

Far as motivation for art, well, I knew that the moon was going to be amazing the past few nights and had great intentions of going out in search of awesome moon photos, however, the cold temperatures killed any desire I had to try to capture the moon. That's a practical issue, however, somehow it feels like the super chilled outdoor air has a way of putting a chill on creativity. Not sure why, maybe it's cabin fever but whatever.
