Does Mozart like Sketchbook Project 2012?

Mozart, a pencil portrait by Jude Cowell.

Art Alert!! There has been confusion concerning the deadline for sending in our Arthouse Sketchbook projects so I'm posting an excerpt from the Update I received today:

Reminder: There are two weeks left to work on your Sketchbook for the 2012 Project! Please postmark your book by January 31st, 2012. (If you signed up after November 2nd, you are in the Limited Edition Project and have until April 30th to submit your work.)

My own confusion is almost cleared up for I'm not certain if I signed up before November 2nd or not! (That was last year already...)

Guess I'll just have to complete my Sketchbook over this weekend, mail it in, and hope for the best even though I haven't begun drawing yet--because I thought I had until the end of April. Hope I've not confused anyone else about the correct postmark-by date--if so, I sincerely apologize!

And I'm fairly certain that my favorite classical composer, Mozart, would approve of such a global Art effort and could get any creative project done on time because they formed first in his noodle--well, maybe I can, too!

Happy Drawing Everyone,

Jude the Semi-Confused

Return of "A Night in Celadon Forest" by Jude Cowell

Night in Celadon Forest has returned to Secret Moon Art in honor of the Autumn season. Don't forget your lantern is my best advice!

Plus, there's a Full Moon in Taurus, you know, on Thursday November 10 (2011) at 3:16 pm est so the Taurus/Scorpio energies will be reflected by moonbeams during the evening as they swirl through the cool night air!

Media: Prismacolor oil pencils, Rexel Derwent watercolour pencils (dry only) on black paper which allows certain effects that you'll never achieve on white paper, no matter how hard you try! Try it and see what you think, and...

Draw On, Y'all

Any or all of my blogs may contain videos some of which are scientific (word to the wise), musical (hurrah!), or even perspective widening by way of Max Igan presentations. Mr. Igan includes how to deal with today's issues in this time of great confusion.

Not to be missed!
