As most people jump to join their gyms and start working on machines and the floor mats, and yes lets not forget all the weight lifting and jumping rope that is involved in the endeavour to shed the holiday pounds – I’m siting at my most loved and worn table, sketching, drawing, and playing with colour. Exploring forms and figures, light and shadows, all to the end of illuminating the artist within, her voice, her choices, that create DsArtWorks
As I complete today’s exploration, here is an older one, done with watercolours, inks and forgotten cities – I thought it would be perfect as the first share, as it was not about perfection and beauty, but ideas and freedom, and most importantly it was about giving the self the permission to make mistakes, and seeing the forms.
“The Flame of the City is burning bright,
And the skyline is illuminated by the drops of love and creation.
The Dance of the flame ignites,
Nurturing the cities, circles and squares.
Allowing all the expansion, with not even the slightest coercion,
Inviting the networks and the galaxies, go beyond, go beyond, go beyond!
Go Beyond, this Flaming City.”
