I love the way you capture things and qualities with (what seems like) such a spontaneous flourish of strokes. I sometimes wonder if you even know what you will create before you start…it’s such an immediate sense of movement. It inspires me, yet that flowing style eludes me.
Most days I try to not have a notion of what I will draw. It’s a little scary still to sit in front of that blank page with no clear idea and make a mark. To get past that, I think about how there’s rarely a time when I can’t find something that interests my eye. And also, that this one page is transient, not a masterpiece. The point is the act of drawing. Once I get started, it’s often like telling myself stories about the lines and colors, stories that don’t always have words. Often I don’t really know what the result is “about”, but I’ve been trying to put some words to the pictures anyway.
