Drawing is the backbone of painting. I love to draw and practice almost daily. Sketchbooks fill my shelves and go back many years. It is the one place I can not worry about what the pages hold. It is like a visual diary ith no expectations.
Many things capture my interest when I am looking for something to paint. Subject is not always the king of the canvas though. Often need to let me instinct take over and creativity have free rein on the page.Fairy Trees are a good example of not being slave to the subject. I am trying to bring more of this Joie De Vive into all my work.
