Looking for beauty – thanks for your comment. I know you feel that seeing and drawing is so special a thing to be able to do. G

Vanni – thanks for visiting and comenting. G

Nita – it is so wonderful to see what is special in one’s own surroundings. The lushness of growth here is amazing. G

Deborah – the world is a strange and wonderful place, amazing for its diversity and true oddness. Even the commonplace can be so exotic. G

Tysdaddy – thanks for the kind comment. G

Christine – drawing is one of the ways to connect internal energy with phenomena perceived – different times, situations, different energy – but the activity is so close to meditation. Thanks for your kind comment. G

ybonesy – by God – a set of student grade oil pastels can come in handy. I have always had difficulty in relaxing into drawing when using expensive materials – the rarity and cost of some stuff frightens me into stiffness. But give me newsprint, even with type on it, and i fly, fly , fly in abandoned drawing. Must think on what this means. Thanks for your comment. G

What a wonderful thing to do! The outcome — these drawings — are alive with movement. I love their looseness. The color. The shapes. Glad you published them and the narrative of your experience.

As always, I’m amazed at the breadth of your vocabulary. As your vision was precise, so have your words evolved.

Your drawings contain lots of movement and energy, just as you described your process of drawing. I smiled at the image of you doing knee bends and stretching your arms, losening up for the big dance.

I felt like I was there with you on the spring day by the river.

Beautiful. Both the art and the words. It’s always a pleasure . . .

You must have had a beautiful day. Sounds like the best fun ever! And you haven’t let your problems with your eyesight stop you from going out there and doing it. Lovely drawings.

These are beautiful drawings.As always, you are very clear on your motives and goals before and as you work. They are fresh and lively. They have a van Gogh directness to them. Thanks for sharing.
