The Mess, In Blue




The Mess, In Blue

The image
Blue lines
Cover innocence

The splendor
White paper
Before lines

Thinking Nature
Forest
Maybe a meadow

Before entitled
Caused the mess
Embellished in blue


I think of what is built as beautiful sometimes, worthy of a sketch, a drawing, a painting. The failing maybe, of an old architect. What a mess compared to what was here before.

  1. People, massive door that won't let people leave when you draw like that so many things pop into my mind locked up or locked down doorways that lead to more doorways, you can be there but good luck getting out,imagine the possibilities here are endless, oh what you do with a pen

    1. I’m glad you found so many possibilities in the sketch. I was thinking while sketching of all this man made mess that ruined the beauty of what was before.
      Thank you

  3. A very intriguing mess...I see a medieval settlement, with peasants going about their daily chores.
    But then I look again...and I see an alpine ski resort, surrounded by tall pine trees.
    I could sit and gaze for hours.
    This could be anything I wanted it to be.
    Wow...what a talent! :)

    1. It’s funny. I see a city neighborhood, that once was just forest or meadow. I see two much crowding together. Okay, I guess I just see a mess.. Though your observations are causing other images to appear now too.
      Thank you
