Day 81 - Strive

Pencil - foundation for watercolor portrait
I was watching one of my favorite shows and the closing scene quote was this:

"though we are not now that strength which in days of old moved heaven and earth
that which we are, we are;
one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will,
to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. "

I googled it and saw that it was from Alfred Lord Tennyson's Ulysses. I thought about striving and not yielding to pressure, temptation, procrastination - all things that produce stress. The quote was uplifting and got me back on track with postings. I am posting the past week's drawings and paintings as a result.
