"Paper Wings and a Tiny Fairy" 16x22 graphite on paper by Kathy Ostman-Magnusen
Drawings and sketches help refine the artist's eye. I need to do more! I keep thinking about the curiosity of Leonardo da Vinci, who took a sketchbook everywhere he went. Time to begin that again is now. smile.. yes. Tiny fairies, drawings of dragons, drawings of my thumb even, yes to all, yes to drawing more and asking more questions about life and curious things.
"Drawings of Scorpions and Introducing You to Your Own Tail-Yes How to Draw a Scorpion"
Drawings of scorpions sketches, drawings of a serpents tail. I feel their shell and I become the work I become the graphite on the clear white pages over and over to understand just how enlightened can an artist be when patterns are met by the hand?
Scorpion drawings line my closet. I hold my moods off balance off center dark light seeking daylight yes daylight. Taken from my hidden rock not to be exposed just free to be myself.
Today I am somehow entombed by a lack of expression my tail doth wane I cannot feel my tongue I am folded up and set aside in secret drawers. I long to be mesmerized free from self imposed impositions.
Holding up a mirror I see my scorpion backwards just like I feel I am at times... muted song and all.
I am like a memory just a drawing trying to create some sort of solum oath fierce yet frail dangerous if you provoke me mindless if the sun is free to meet my back and sees you wanting me. How to draw a scorpion? You ask... again?
In flight I could go anywhere stare at embankments and then? Just jump off! Yes... just leap into the abyss. Why not?
But alas I am not a bird nor dragonfly not even a fly on ones wall. I am inside my drawings drawings of scorpions because of you because you said you'd like to see them.
You promised that you would not slur your words anymore. I demand that oath. Sketches and drawings colors lined up and waiting for atonement say it as clear as you can and I might follow you.
Stop asking me how to draw scorpions OK? Time to beacon your own. Scorpion drawings line my closet.
