John's Quavering Pencil

I have been playing a song called The Rose at my SL gigs, just lately. Be that as it may, I today picked a red rose as the subject of my sketching practice. The flower of a rose is a very complicated thing to draw and several times I found that I had lost my place in terms of which petal I was currently on, as I shifted my gaze from object to sketch pad and back. I found the rose to be more beautiful than the orange or the trainer (see previous blogs)and I think I enjoyed drawing it more than I did the other two. I certainly became totally absorbed in my task.

This evening I shall play an SL gig at my Terra Fyrmusica venue. I keep fussing with my sound levels. Ideally, I should twiddle with the mixer knobs to get the levels and settings right for each track and also modify them slightly for when I play digital piano, as opposed to guitar. In practice there just isn’t time for that sort of thing, so I go for a good average sound overall. Speak to you later, my dear blogophiles.
