Illustration Friday: "Jazz"
When I first saw this topic, I was excited. Then Tuesday and wednesday went by and my sketches of frogs and birds playing instruments simply sat on the page. Nothing spoke to me, no burn or urge to finish or even expand called. Then, I remebered a cd I had purchased in San Antonio TX a year or so ago. On the Riverwalk there is a jazz club devoted to The Jim Cullens band. I've been there twice and loved the music and atmosphere (once you get past the mall-esque exterior). So,I dug the cd out, popped it in, the beastie monkey fell asleep and I had the sketch and watercolor complete in 20 minutes. I like the movement and feel but the best part was playing with watercolors again. It felt good, so good that I might try to do another piece in this once beloved medium.

This is just awesome, I know I'm a bit biased in my opinions - but really, the piece is all about movement and life and it just makes me smile! :)
