Mermaids are beautiful, but supposedly fictional, creatures who are half woman (the top part), and half fish (the bottom part). Perhaps, evolution “helped” these creatures to break free from the water – by giving them legs? Maybe…but who’s to say that being on dry land is the better existence?
April 5, 2007 – May 5, 2007: “One-Drawing-Per-Day-Challenge II” – An Incomplete “Success”
Approximately one month ago, I was updating my website with a photograph of my latest drawing. I realized, sadly, that it had been a REALLY long time since I completed my last self-perceived "website-worthy" drawing. I realized that the last time I had taken my drawing seriously was when I did my two-week, One-Drawing-Per-Day-Challenge - which ended over EIGHT MONTHS AGO! I endeavored to tackle a new, one month, One-Drawing-Per-Day-Challenge…but, I did not anticipate the struggles that I would encounter! End-of-the-year teacher exhaustion, depression, and exasperation made trying to draw, each day, almost impossible (I LOVE teaching, but, most of the time, I HATE being a teacher)! Here are the results of my incomplete, but semi-successful, challenge:

The classification of the ”beautifully built” female form differs according to the person who is asked. My definition is much broader than the average person’s. I can find beauty in the typically skinny runway model, the voluptuous “plus-sized” model…and the muscularly-fit female bodybuilder. This is my turn on the “female version” of Atlas – the Titanic Greek god who was doomed to hold up the world. How’d I do?
4/24/07 – Rear View II
Dimensions: 8 1/2” x 14"
Price (Unframed): $100.00
Shipping: $10.00
Female bodybuilders represent a unique brand of beauty that is, unfortunately, not realized very often, in this country. When I hear “Female bodybuilders are ugly…” or “Female bodybuilders are men…”, it breaks my heart – because comments like that underscore the ignorance of the people making them. There are attractive female bodybuilders – just like there are attractive female non-bodybuilders! There are unattractive female bodybuilders – just like there are unattractive female non-bodybuilders. Why can’t we just judge people as individuals…better yet, why can’t we just NOT judge people, at all?
4/23/07 – Rear View
Dimensions: 10 1/8” x 14"
Price (Unframed): $100.00
Shipping: $10.00
The awe-inspiring beauty of the “bodybuilt”, female form has always fascinated me! Sometimes, when trying to capture such beauty, less is truly more!
