Back to the Drawing Board

I love drawing.

When life gets busy and rushes all around me... and I feel OVERWHELMED... I sometimes say to myself, "I think I'll go draw a picture..." It is as if I suddenly realize what really matters...

And what matters is me.

Drawing is very basic. Just me, the canvas and a pencil... pure and simple. It is quiet and personal. There really isn't much between me and the drawing. It starts with my thoughts, flows through my arm, hand, and onto the canvas. In fact, it is how I get to know my painting. I like to draw it out, getting to know all the shapes and characters... light here and dark there... I even like the sound of the scratch, scratch, scratch of the pencil on canvas. And in the background I hear the tick, tick, tick of the clock. I hear the clock but I'm oblivious to time...

It is comforting. Just me.

I love drawing...
