DRAWING CHALLENGE- TAIL

Part of white-tailed deer tail found on a walk in the back woods

The Golden ratio has been quite inspiring lately..... seeing spirals everywhere

I will share some photos now and later some drawings

                                        
                                          Our sweet dog Zoey has a marvelous, spirally TAIL...

I think Descartes, Archimedes, Bernoulli and Fibonacci, et al. would think so too :)

                

most importantly, her boy thinks so

Sweet Zoey

                                                  
                                                     How much is that doggy in the window?
                                                     the one with the spirally tail...  :)

near and dear drawings from a former student

these drawings are pretty darn amazing

what touches me the most is that they were made

especially for me by a very bright, young man,

a student in my drawing elective, when he was 12

He must be going on 14 soon

I will always remember how passionate

he was about learning to draw and paint

and I will always treasure these

some of the pictures he drew from are included
