"A picture is worth a thousand words." and a memory is priceless.....
I believe language is a powerful instrument that, when used correctly, can clarify, comfort and cheer. Yet sometimes words cannot adequately portray the emotions inside.
I have come to realize that sometimes one drawing can capture what pages of words cannot. Drawing gives me the opportunity to express my inner self.
It was shortly after my grandmother passed away when I again picked up the pencil. Drawing Grammy helped me remember the spark and spirit in her eyes and smile.
I have been taught 5 important lessons from drawing:
Look at the values;
Maintain balance;
Be aware of the positive as well as the negative space;
Remember to be patient; &
Every now and then step back and take a look at the whole picture.
And isn’t that how we should live each day?
I hope my artwork touches your heart as you see and feel the love and spirit within...
