Just Off Shore
Drifted along this favorite shore
Again
Caught in the drama
Of fountain pens
That skipped
And water pens
That spilled
Remembered kneeling
Floating free
In a yellow canoe
Just before
Or after
A thunderstorm
This took place so far away
From this isolated studio
This attempt to be
Just off
A favorite shore
I used general purpose water soluble
black and blue calligraphy ink. The colors caused by the water brush were a
pleasant surprise.

Your sketches are just amazing. Did you do a lot of it as an architect. Just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteYes for almost 40 years most of my sketching was related to architectural business.
You blew me away, by words, by slightly wine water, it's simply sensational, wow Anthony, you are my favorite...
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad you like.. it was good to escape, to get away to this place into the sketch.
DeleteThank you so much..
Very intriguing ..a dense forest out there.Nicely done, Tony.And oh I did want to be an architect ,too - only I sucked at maths ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteMath wasn’t my strongest subject either☺
There is such longing to reach this shore...and begin exploring.
ReplyDeleteWhat lies on it's far side, I wonder?
Perhaps an even greater magic than I could ever imagine...I am already creating a boat in my mind...;)
The longing to reach the shore, even after years of exploring, doesn’t go away.
DeleteNo need to create a boat. You can join me in the yellow canoe☺
