An Illustraited Life

This weekend, I decided to get my draw on.

On Saturday I met up with my local Plein Air Painter People and did some more drawings of downtown Wichita.

Recently, I signed up to participate in a ton of new art projects coordinated by the Art House Co-op to keep me occupied all spring long. I am now signed up to participate in The Sketchbook Project: Limited Edition, The 4 x 6 Exchange, The Self Portrait Project 4x4, The Map Project and The Adventure Project. I have previously participated in the 10,000 People Project, The Canvas Project 2, A Million Little Pictures Project, The Sketchbook Project 2010, The Sketchbook Project 2012 and The Meal.

The deadline to submit my image for the 4x 6 exchange is April 2nd, so I sent off my first spring submission to the Art House Co-op this weekend. Since I was limited on time, I decided to send off one of my first drawings with the Plein Air Painters group- my drawing of the Delano District that I made for the 34th World Wide Sketch Crawl. So, some random stranger will receive my painting in the mail soon, and in exchange I'll be receiving a work of art from someone else. I can't wait!

The Adventure, Map and Limited Edition Sketchbook Projects are all due by April 30th, so I decided to get started on The Sketchbook Project: Limited Edition. My first drawing is a still-life line drawing of some items lying around the house. What do you think?
