Day one hundred and forty-seven: Every time I finish a sketch it feels like a miracle has just occurred. Today’s drawing is a study of a sculpture titled “Thunder and Lightning” by Minnesota artist Paul Granlund. I love the balance of the intertwining male and female figures. The style I used doesn’t quite capture the foreshortening necessary to give the duo the three dimensionality they deserve, and as a result the legs seems short. They probably are a little shorter than they should be, as my skills with proportion are not well honed. Still, I’m thrilled to have been able to easily sketch the complex overlapping forms of Granlund’s sculpture.
