Flying into Calgary seeing the natural and farmer made patterns of the land
Pencil, Acrylic and Watercolour
All I know is i need to draw.
I need to draw each day.
It may not be good.
It may indeed suck.
It just needs to be done.
To become better,
i must practise,
not hide,
nor ignore.
Just do
I have a need to draw,
not a need to be good.
This much is all i know.
In 8 years i will be the same age as my father when he died. My father gave me a gift to want to draw when i was too young to realize what it was. The not "good enough"s and the "other people are better than me"s made me forget what he intended to give - the need. 8 years until I am the age he left us - how many drawings is that? I dedicate each one to him and his gift - of books, art materials and of making drawing matter. I found that gift of need today and each sketch Dad is in memory of you XXXX
