Energy, Passion and Lines
Drawings and sketches in art school life classes and in notebooks, sketch books, newsprint and loose sheets are instant gratification for me. Results come quickly and they are right on or they get tossed. Big hunks of charcoal, or charcoal sticks, pen or ink with a brush, graphite, and conte colors, oil washes and oil pastels conjure memories, whimsical creatures, my desires and what lays before me.
When done with my non-dominant left hand, I'm told that what shows up releases feelings. A different kind of art therapy, perhaps. I did a few of those for fun in the 1980s when work drained my creativity energy and everything I painted turned into lifeless, muddied shapes, the shallow years in my life when my purpose was to promote fashion and beauty products for retailers and manufacturers. |
