Thank you, Elizabeth, for the wonderful idea of using my artwork as blog posts!
For three weeks now I’ve been scrambling double-time, writing frantically and then scurrying to create original images for the posts… It never occurred to me that folks might just enjoy the images for their own sake.
I made this sketch yesterday while waiting on a bookstore to open… One of my friends was really on my mind, and I sketched, wishing the love that I was putting into the sketch to find its way to them.
I was thinking about how often we move through sadness and confusion and fear to get to better places. Along the way, the world can feel dark and terrifying.
Sometimes when we detect the tiniest tear in the veil of illusion of this world, the shaky ground seems to yield into abyss…
This afternoon, I added color to the sketch… You’ll get to see it in a couple days!

Excellent Leslee! We never fail with artwork from the heart.. This is haunting yet carries a lot of love and strength with it. I’m curious to see how/where you added color to the sketch.
Kudos,
Elizabeth
Thank, Eliz! It’s a delayed post, so it’s been a few days, and I’m not sure how that friend is doing, so I hope it’s following them somehow… You tempt me to post the colored version sooner! If I can get another post together I’ll speed it up [:-)]
I love this, amazing what a sketch does to bring writing to the visual. Keep at it!
Peace, Deb
Thank you, Deb! Oh, you posted Desiderata, one of my favorites! And what a wonderful watercolor! Heading back over that way now… [:-)]
I most certainly, would love to see your sketches!
Thank you! More coming up [:-)] I’m hoping to spend more time today catching up with you!
