Closer to Home



Closer to Home

A place within reach
from where I pretend
I’m somewhere else.

Sketch along the Rouge River from the Linden Park Trail in the city I pretend to not be living in.

9”x 12” ink and watercolor

    Now I am intrigued!
    I wonder why you pretend not to be there...perhaps there are too many demands upon your time...well, I can understand if that is the reason...your work is truly unique and so beautiful, and this is no exception.
    This stunning sketch reminds me of a scene out of a Rupert Bear Annual (my favourite childhood books), and all the excitement of anticipation as to where the river will lead. I feel I want to take my canoe and sail off into the distance...:))

    Have a Great Weekend!

      Being in the present is not something I do very well. Am often pretending to be somewhere else. A walk along a river through a city park has me thinking of being in a forest crowded in by trees rather than the buildings the trees may momentarily hide. Has me pretending I don’t know where the river goes; about the bridge and road not to too far ahead, and the dam beyond, where the river turns into a small lake surrounded by too many large homes.
      Glad to be able to stir up memories..
      Hope you are having a good weekend too.
      Thank you
