Last night I went with my new friend Stephen, Voxcat, to his weekly lifedrawing class, and then to English Bay to watch the fireworks, a magnificent display of light and colour and explosion over the ocean and against the backdrop of the mountains, a most wonderful way to say goodbye to Vancouver.
I post three of my lifedrawing efforts. They were 3 minute poses. A challenge for one who likes to linger over drawing. By the third hour I was exhausted with the speed, and began to colour instead. These images contain stories, reflections, ways of composing life and being and may become photopoems later on...

Thinking lovingly of you -- travel blessings & a happy landfall to you!
ReplyDeleteLove these life drawings! I've gone to those sessions a few times and the short pose duration drives me nuts. Like anything else it takes practice (which I have not yet put in) -- it's also why almost all my sketches of my cats show them fast asleep....
ReplyDelete"her figment and shadows" stuns me, the haunting of times and visions of sexuality and dreams of possibilities. I do loce all of them, but that one takes me away.
ReplyDeleteI just love, love the drawings! What a bright and beautiful greeting to leave us with, while you are on your way.
ReplyDeleteI must stop looking at your life drawings because I want nearly every one I see. Hope you are well. Cheers, Bill Vexations
