As a spiritual person, nature for me has always been a healing place. Going back all the way to my childhood on the farm, the fields and forests were places of adventure and self-discovery. Animals were companions and friends, and the world moved at a slower, more rational pace than the bustling cities where I’d resided my adult life. – David Mixner

my drawings of my neighbours’ cows in the field opposite – drawing studies from life
on the hoof 😉 get the joke? if u don’t then u shpould know that colloquial (en-gb) ‘on the hoof’ means on the trot, on the move, improvised, ‘sur la vif’ (fr) … ie gesture drawings of moving objects.

I’m hoping to teach life drawing classes this autumn/ winter here in the Dordogne. Contact me if interested. (Nude humans not nude cows ;-).

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no stranger to cows. I live right besides two herds!
Tips for developing one’s Drawing Style
If I were always just to repeat & not try new subject matter, new materials, new approaches & even new ideas… what type of artist would I be? A one trick horse… Anyway, I am drawn to diversity & experimentation. The question now is , what remains constant?
I live drawing, put simply. Try to draw soemthing new & out of one’s orbit every now & then. I enjoy being thus stretched.
