Well, I just finished week two of daily drawing and painting. I am finding the daily exercise to be exciting and invigorating.
A quick sketch with added watercolor at the Quechee covered bridge.
Since there isn't a lot of time to devote to each one I skip studies and the work becomes more spontaneous. On the sap bucket drawings, I just found an interesting place to begin, worked out to the edge of the little paper--maybe 5" x 7"--and if the composition didn't work I just lopped off the uninteresting part--a kind of "flying by the seat of your pants" approach.
"Sap Buckets" done in marker
"Sap Buckets #2"
5 1/2" x 7 1/2" - soft pencil on gessoed paper
"Sap Bucket #1"
6" x 8" - soft pencil on gessoed paper
6" x 8" - soft pencil on gessoed paper
"Shadow Ribbons I"

I am very happy with the last three pieces and consider them frame worthy. And I haven't spent so much time in my studio in ages....
