Drawing #28 - Lily Grew
The bit of paper in this multimedia drawing really says "lil'y grew El'len sev'en ty" but it seemed to grow and develop as I worked, so the name of "Lily Grew" feels apt. The sequence I followed was a little different this time, starting with and defining the first shapes with paint. Every time I do feel these are mental landscapes with the details emerging from unknown depths. This is the small sketchbook size but I have a larger drawing in the works.

Fabulous! I love it! The use of the paint first to define some shapes really worked well. I like your color choices, and really think this turned out great! You should be very happy with this one! Looking forward to seeing your larger work in progress. :)
ReplyDeleteThis one is quite fascinating, there are so many things to see in it. Great color and color shapes, this method seems to work well for you.
ReplyDeleteI always feel that your decorative landscapes have a hidden meaning and the little bit of printed paper in this one is particularly cryptic and just adds to the puzzle. The more I look at this the more I feel that it´s rushing away from me. All those floral swirls seem to be in constant motion. As for the swan I see, it appears to be taking flight as I look at it. The entire drawing has such an Oriental feel, it´s like an illustration for a haiku poem. Thought provoking and beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting sketch using a different technique. I see a tree trunk on the right side with small branches bursting out the top...reminds me of the tree in Children's Hospital where my grandson is right now otherwise I might have seen a "tree". The rest of the colors used look like many paths up and down and all around with many interesting sights to see along the way.
