I stand before you,
When all is done and said
Defiant, proud and tall
Don't you think my head
Looks far, far better
On me, than on a wall?
Yes, I'm afraid that I see myself using my watercolor direct sketches as my daily sketches for the time being. Let's look on the bright side, though. This specific challenge ends at the end of this month, and at the rate I'm going, there are going to be days when I'll make more than one watercolour - yesterday for example - and days when I won't make any, so there will be some ink sketches coming this month, I'm sure.
As for this choice, well, while I was in Kaunas in April I visited the Zoological Museum - where I sketched a coelacanth - and one thing I didn't like about it was a room literally full of mounted deer heads and antlers. As the verse says - I think they look far better still attached to the living animal.
