I did a quick sketch this morning of Corot's "Woman Reading a Book." That is a very fitting title, I might add. A lot of paintings have literal names like that: Woman Walking a Dog, Boy Eating Cereal, Baby Spitting Up, etc. Those aren't real names by the way, but they could be. I have decided that I am going to have a theme for the ATC trade and that will be paintings of people reading. I have done a few that don't fit in that category, but the rest that I do will. I got a desk lamp for Christmas, so now it will be easier to do colored pencil drawings at night, so I think I will do mostly colored pencil work for the project. The lighting in my place has never been good for night time colored pencil work, but now it is.
Anyway, to explain my title, I will start by saying that I'm not bored. Sometimes when I'm stuck inside in the winter, I wish I could be doing something else, but I'm still not bored. I have a college aged co-worker who is on winter break at the moment and she keeps going on and on about how bored she is. That doesn't happen to me anymore. In fact, I wish we had 48 hour days. There is too much to do. There are way too many books to read (and people just keep writing more!), pictures to draw, things to learn, to do, to see, etc etc. I am not bored... Am I lucky that I feel this way?

What a great idea for a drawing theme. People reading. Perfect. Much more interesting than people on facebook : )
And as for being bored, I agree with you. There is so much in the world that is so interesting, so much to learn, to see, to do, to try....no reason to be bored...
nope.
