are everywhere! Such is nature. There are no straight lines in the human body. The only straight lines describe the man-made. The yin and the yang. In calligraphy, the S-curve is one of the most difficult to master, it seems to me, as it involves a release of control. On our recent trip to San Francisco, we apartment-sat our son's place. Two amazing felines filled our days with delight and warmth. Sophia is a lap cat to the max. On two separate occasions I studied her form...the first a circular sleeping pose and the second a study of the way the hair grew on her haunches. Muscles, fur, the soft pads on the paws....all delightfully organic. I became totally absorbed in the drawing of each of these small sketches....each took about an hour.
Two hours well spent.
