I do most of my music listening in the basement, shuffling a shared library from a hard drive in another part of the house while I draw or paint. When something comes along that really draws me in I put five stars on it and then add it to my “Favorites” playlist in iTunes. Occasionally I will shuffle the “Favorites” playlist and you would think that would be the ultimate but it’s not nearly as much fun as throwing fate to the wind, shuffling the entire library and running across beautiful surprises.
I was working away the other night, frustrated at not being able to get a gesture down, when I thought, almost aloud, “I wish I could see what I’m trying to draw.” And then I laughed aloud. This is really the game, learning to see. The drawing part is a cinch.

Hey, is that Pete in that drawing? You really nailed the eyes (ouch, what a horrible way of phrasing it!).
