Bold Ink Drawings…

April 25, 2019 · Leave a Comment

I started doing these bold ink drawings a few years ago with a class I took with Carla Sonheim,
it was fascinating how one can break the ice (fear) of the blank page!

And how these bold ink marks generated new ideas and concepts,
which came about, as this “Personitas” series (little people)

Once again, I have committed to the #The100DayProject2019 on IG, which started on April 2nd.
Here is more info.

I did start ahead so to have a bit of a back up in the posting,
and I’m not planning on doing 100 consecutive days, that is too difficult! Plus…

…my observations on this challenge is that you do discover a lot about your style,
but you stop being authentic and motivated after about 65 to 80 days in the project.
It also takes over your life and affects your true flow, it becomes a numbers game.

and it is from the rights of the weak that the duty of the strong is comprised.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
