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.

Now I am intrigued!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteGlad to be able to stir up memories..
Hope you are having a good weekend too.
Thank you
