Platform
Islands
Off solitude
The
day was started with this sketch. A memory of rocky platforms on the islands,
and yes, the figure, my imagination was working then too. Someone to talk too.
A
place to escape.
A
place to observe.
A
safe place away
From
the day to day.

Lines in this are extraordinary, that's me on Islands of Solitudes, alone I feel so good right now, but I have long hair and dimples and much curvier than she is...but in my mind in the horrible days I've had I am forever more in your Islands of Solitudes
ReplyDeleteThe figure is inconsequential. I see myself on the same platform too. Glad you feel free to do the same☺
DeleteIf I’m going to place someone in the drawing though, I’ll obviously find a prettier reference to sketch from than myself.
Thank you
very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Deleteif you look anything like your picture you def should be drawn or sketched it must be hard though drawing yourself
ReplyDeleteDrawing myself just isn’t as interesting. I’d rather draw her..
DeleteThe moment I saw this I was reminded of the scene in Jane Eyre, where Edward Rochester led Jane to believe he was sending her away to Ireland and she would never see him again!
ReplyDeleteI sense a sadness in her pose...a longing to hold onto something as it passes away into history.
This is delightfully atmospheric!
When I am drawing there is a basic theme. What develops is usually experimentation and then problem solving save a final image.
DeleteYour imagination, the ability to pull so much from these small drawings amazes me.
