The Unfolding of a Drawing


first there is a feeling
an idea
an inner image
sometimes the shape of a face
the width of her eyes
or perhaps the thought of a walking stick

then a sketch begins to come to life

another wanderer
with her walking stick
protective hat
and energy auras that travel with her
offering insight
wisdom
and kinship
she walks in the ways of the elders

(sorry the final image is blurry)
 

recently,
asked if any of her readers would like a cloth bookmark
made by her

yes, i said
look what arrived in the mail:

  it looks even more wonderful in person!
my tai chi teacher once gave me feedback:
look up

Thank you Annie!

  16. Il est très intéressant de pouvoir visualiser l'évolution de votre travail. Il y a tant de poésie en lui.
    Un petit ange gardien qui vient se poser sur sa main ... c'est très trognon ! Cette adorable jeune fille est délicate avec un soupçon de sensualité.
    J'aime particulièrement...

    Jeudi prochain, une petite surprise pour vous sur mon blog...
    Un grand merci pour votre délicate attention avec cette oeuvre d'art reçue et très appréciée de tous (facteur compris!!)... Je suis terriblement touchée et votre envoi ne quittera pas ma dollhouse... Avec tout plein de bisousss je vous renouvelle mes remerciements.
