Today's Daily Art: Red Trees


iPhone Painting: Pencil drawing, iPhone photo, Brushes app: Life is like a football field analogy continues: Another way of looking at this is that each of the four quarters represents a portion or chunk of your life. 1st quarter; play the field and take major chances. Play with all pistons going full steam. It may pay off or you pay for your mistakes or both. 2nd quarter: reality of the score board hits and the reality of the game sets in but you are not sure what adjustments you need to make yet. Half time; mid-life crisis... sit and evaluate what the hell you are doing and what to do about it, panic or reality check? 3rd quarter: implement adjustments and hope you are right, stick to your plan. 4th quarter; play based entirely on the current score. If behind, go for it all with everything you have left and if ahead, protect your lead.
What quarter are you in?

Today's Daily Art: Man With Blanket


iPhone Painting: Pencil drawing, iPhone photo, Brushes app: Life is like a football field analogy continued: Jerry Rice once said that "football is a game of inches". I believe that life is a game of inches and each day counts. Plan that day like it is the last play of the game. Drawing everyday and getting your art out through social mediums is playing the game for every inch... enjoy the art, create and share your own... what ever it is!

Todays Daily Art: Man With White Hair


iPhone Painting: Pencil drawing, iPhone photo, Brushes app: There is always a lot of anticipation for a new year and I was taught in business to think of a year as a football game. There are four quarters and each one needs to be played different. The first quarter is to see what is going on and taking some aggressive chances. We all get to start on the 20 yard line by putting a knee down on the kickoff. In the first quarter, don't put a knee down, play aggressive and run the ball. Establish early on an aggressive rhythm that can carry you though the game... or the year! Every play counts in football, just like every day counts in life. Play hard today and make your drawing a good one!!!
