Laura's Vision 86
Dear Tina,
This morning I was awoken to the most magical sunrise out of my bedroom window. If I had taken a picture of it, it would have made for an interesting contrast to my Vision of the moon this week (a picture I took last night). I think fall has been putting on an amazing show to transition me into the cooler weather. I am receiving each gift with open arms and find myself in awe and alive to the wonder of it all. In search of more remarkable moments this week…xoLaura
Tina's Vision
Dear Laura,
I thought I would post a drawing I am working on for our Vision. Perhaps it will spark something you see this week. I am not finished with it yet but feel close enough to share this photo with you. As I had mentioned in my Working Table post this past week, I have been drawing the roots of the weeds I have picked out of my garden. It is a simple drawing of a simple subject.
Tina
Again, I gotta apologize for the indecent photo. I am pretty sure my camera is just about dead.
Tina, I am just LOVING these drawings! Roots are so delicate yet together they are strong in making the plant grow. I love the way you have drawn them and appreciate them as a form. You have really captured the intricacies in the negative space. Can’t wait to see more! You will have me looking at roots in a whole new light! xoL
Tina:
You may think your drawing of the roots is simple but it is soooooo evocative in its simplicity. Truly. It has a flow and a mystery to it that quite literally almost takes my breath away.
From the heart … Carol
Thanks for commenting Laura and Carol. Laura, I feel like these are my “meditative drawings” much like your ‘meditative paintings”. I am not trying to complicate them with any sort of intention/meaning/metaphor. But then I start thinking about roots… strength unseen…survival…. nurturing….and I start complicating it again. I am trying to just draw. Carol I appreciate your thoughts a lot. Sometimes I really like these drawings and other times I just see all my faults. Your comment makes me lean more toward the liking. I am glad it struck a chord with you. I will keep at it. Tina
