Gulls View: Lazy July




Gulls View: Lazy July
Islands off Solitude
I was sketching today, lost in my islands, still. They were where I spent most my July Fourths in younger days.
I’m obviously sort of still there, on this lazy July days.
Okay, I was usually alone.

    1. You are welcome to be one of the three. One could be your avatar☺ the gulls won’t know the difference☺ It was easier when I was younger to spend a day like this. There was so much more time.
      Thank you

  2. Again Magnificent is that you there? it could be a man nice built for one, and if is and you've included yourself into this work of art, you're a genius! I just can't get enough of those Islands of Solitude, they pick me up every time somewhere someday there is a place for me, I know it.

    1. One of the figures ended up being a man. The figure started as a woman like the others and just sort of morphed. It’s not often I see myself in my sketches, especially when I have others sharing the sketch with me.
      The Islands off solitude are there for you now. I visit them in my head, all the time.
      Thank you

    1. The choice is yours, one of the great things about viewing art. No permission is necessary, no wrongs.
