"My view is that art is what humans do, perhaps in short bursts like my sketchbook mornings, within the midst of a busy life. Life goes on and art is the gold with which we humans fill the cracks of life." Perfectly said my friend!
While I journal almost everyday, I added my sketchbook in November with a challenge to explore the hues of blue. I struggle with not getting caught up with the results but enjoy playing with form and color. I love the glimpses into your 5x3 inch world! Many thanks !!
Thank you for your kind comment!! Yes it is indeed a challenge to be process oriented rather than results oriented. It helps me to try to channel my inner 6 year old drawing in the middle of the floor just having fun. Enjoy your exploration of the color blue!!!! 💙
Beautiful, Sue. There’s always gold to be found. For me celebrating it is both a joy and a responsibility. As Robert Frost said, “Nothing gold can stay.”
Yes!! I totally agree!! Frost's poem is part of why I too feel so strongly that we humans need all of the creative gold we can find or create - as you say this gold of the human spirit is both a precious joy and a responsibility to be cultivated and shared with ourselves, each other and the people of the future.
I’m over empathetic and can’t help but think of the poor hungry evil wolf 🐺 Can I not love it too? I don’t want it to die, why is it so angry? What happened in its life? Everyone needs love 😆 I’m sure a physiologist would pick this apart and it’d hold many revelations about my self.
A lovely overview. I adore those Yeats creatures!!! And so many interesting-looking links, which will have to wait until later. Thanks so much. Sending heaps of hugs to you and your household. 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for your kind comment!!! Keeping our own creative human spirit alive somehow someway is how we'll more satisfyingly make it through this life together. So lets go make stuff!!! 💚💚💚💚

A wise poet, that William Butler Yeats.
So true!!!! 💚

I really get a kick out of your abstract drawing with some animal or bugs drawing the painting. It cracks me up. Thank you, Sue.
