drawings

As promised, a few new monoprint drawings...... 'mask' and 'the shoe'......
we stayed up late watching Glastonbury (music festival) on tv and am feeling sleepy today..... I may need a nap before this evening's music......

in the garden this weekend, I noticed the first tiny flowers of thalictrum.... they are the size of a pin head and quite tricky to photograph....


I think I'd like to make some drawing studies of this flower as it changes...... When I was not feeling so sleepy yesterday I started on a drawing project to make images inspired by a poem sequence 'Quiet Lives'.... let me explain a bit.... several weeks ago I wrote this sequence of ten tiny poems and shared the poems with a few friends who encouraged me that there were some interesting images and so..... now I have set myself the task and challenge of making little drawings to go with each little poem..... I am also wishing to make these drawings quick, spontaneous sketches - as they should not overshadow the poems..... ok a picture to help explain....

so you see...... and what will happen to the poems and the pictures when completed? not sure yet.... possibly a little book..... will see how it goes.... but now it is almost lunchtime and there are chores to do before I can even think about putting my feet up.... no shopping this Saturday, I'll get to it next week.....

have a creative, restful, inspired weekend x
