Finders Keepers #2 Jump off the swing

Here is today’s scrap of paper project. I am going to call the series Finders Keepers. Today I framed the sketch in a little 4×6 ikea frame. It’s in pencil, pastel pencil and watercolor. The drawing is ok but the photo is terrible. Not sure where I’ll leave this one today. I might place it somewhere tonight when I’m out on the town. There’s an Open Studios mixer at California Modern and then 20 Minute Loop plays at Red Devil Lounge.

This one was inspired by my jumping off a swing the other day. It’s still just as fun as it was when I was a kid. I think it’s a good metaphor for life. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a swing, you can fill in the blanks with your swing of choice. I’ve deemed today “National jump off a swing day” Go find your proverbial swing and jump! damnit! Now! What are you waiting for?

I really need a decent scanner so I can archive these better. The digital photos just aren’t doing the trick. And if it had good slide scanning capabilities, I could make color prints of my paintings. That would be so cool. Hint, hint, hint.
