Up Spring!
March 21st, 2007
More art from last week, this time playing with caran d'ache crayons on 8"x10" acrylic paper, just free-flow drawing with no plan in mind and this is what came out, an ode to Spring.

I love the swirls in the tree. I love trees and especially trees with swirls. I wish my “just sit down and draw” pictures turned out like this!

Beautiful! Full of hope and promise.
Thanks for the WiFi info – I haven’t found a completely free spot, but a nearly free one (30 mins per purchase), so that’s a start. Thank you.

How did you like using those crayons? I’ve never heard of them before. I love learning about new media.
This tree is a natural progression from the tree you drew towads the beginning of March. It’s so lovely to be attuned to Springs rythm. Its a beautiful piece.

I love playing with caran d’ache. Your drawings are always so lyrical – they’re like music for my eyes – this one especially lifts my spirits. Thanks for that!

Beautiful. I love the sense of movement and the feeling of up, up, up! Spring’s my favourite season and I am looking so forward to feeling its presence. Thanks for a taste of it today
