Gourds, make me happy....





The small color photos are the original shots. The larger black and whites are the drawings I would have made if I had time to draw. I love gourds. I don't know why, but they have always made me happy. Now, they also remind me of my art classes and spending hours upon hours drawing them in still lifes while learning how to actually use different mediums. Most of my favorite pieces from my college drawing classes are of still-lifes with gourds. I think I am going to photograph them all week.
