Nearing the finish line on this one…

I still don’t know what the name of this tree is!  But I may be able to find out tonight at the library if I can get my hands on a book that allows me to identify a tree by its bark.  It’s a little tricky with no leaves…

I volunteered to help backstage with my daughter’s musical recently and they had a singing instructor work with the young thespians before the show to warm up their voices, singing silly things like the alphabet in different keys.  What do artists do to warm up?  It occurs to me that drawing from life for 15 minutes would not be a bad warm-up.  In figure drawing we used to do 60 second poses for the first 10 minutes as a warm-up, gradually lengthening the pose.

What do you do to warm up for your artistic practice?

Deborah Santoro is an artist who runs a contemporary art gallery. She is a wife and mother of three who loves to walk in the woods and practice yoga. Deborah was not politically active before the Women’s March of 2017 and so some of the mess we find ourselves in is her fault and she is doing her best to vindicate that by helping to organize an Indivisible group in her home town with a group of like minded people. #resist
