Women, Fishing, Yoga

Almost finished with the Woman Font which still does not have a name. Any ideas? If you think of something good there may be free fonts in your future. Just reading an article about how artists look at the whole painting as they paint -- I had to do that with this drawing when it was done. When I looked at each part, it seemed out of proportion but when I look at the drawing as one piece, it works. You can imagine the other arm somehow. And if that sounds like I don't always know how I do what I do . . . yeah, I can't explain it. 

My yoga class went well. I've taught other classes but this one seemed like the real deal. I think because it is an 8 week class, Yoga for Abs, and I made the whole thing up from scratch. It progresses. The students are cool. I did so much research, practice, thinking, thinking. I think the most important thing I learned was that a tense muscle cannot be strengthened. So forget about sucking it up. The main job of the abdominal muscles is to act as the Stabilizer and to strengthen them you have to use them in that capacity.

song practice

Tonight You Belong To Me. I get to sit in with a small group of musicians and singers. They tell me I have to SING LOUDER! I'm shy but I'm starting to know the songs and the voices to harmonize with and sometimes it will be a song that I actually do know and I will get loud. This is one of the songs we are practicing and one of the group showed us this clip he found. It's all the same guy. The broom dance is my favorite.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
