Destination Panorama

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all had a lovely time over Christmas. Apologies for not posting until now. There's no particular reason for the gap. More like a number of reasons such as Christmas preparations, family time, visitors and visiting, and then bedding back into the school-work-home routine in the New Year.

As you know, I'm part of an International Moleskine Exchange, which is almost at it's close, with most of the Moleskine's nearly full now. I've been naughtily sitting on this Moleskine since November 08, the subject of which is Maps and Destinations. I knew as soon as I received it and saw the other's work what I wanted to do - the possible destinations reached by the road outside my house, including the bus stop I often use and draw figures at. This is a sneak preview, as part of the Moley agreement was not to post the full image until it's been received by the next person on the list. So you'll have to wait a little longer before you see the full panorama.

Clock #3, put to bed

I much prefer the canvas this way round. Portrait ways up rather than landscape.

I spent about 5 minutes just looking at it, then I drew in some verticals, and added some lines to a vanishing point in what I think of as the middle of the clock face. Then I added some yellow and grey oil pastels, and drew the numbers in more detail.

I think it doesn't work because I have no idea what I feel about it, what I'm trying to portray here. There's no message or clear emotion coming from me. So I'm going to set it aside for the time being, and leave it until I think of something that could give it purpose.
