drenched

overwhelmed
wash me clean
of all the dead leaves

my tree untangled

I know it's horrible that this is my first post in over a year. Ink, I'd like to fall back in love with you again.

There's this bulby mess that needs to be untangled.  I thank this tree for opening each strand and allowing it to blossom the way it should.  Thank you always.

Passed Me By :: 25x36 in

I made a larger version of a previous sketch I posted awhile back and made some adjustments. I was given an opportunity to participate in a NYC Art Teacher's Exhibit in Soho. Each teacher was given a 40x40 space on the wall. I decided to use that space for one large drawing.

Come see it in person at the Broome Gallery this month!

Reception 4-7pm

W. Broadway and Broome St.

so what was going through my head when drawing this? Honestly, there must have been many thoughts going through my head, or none at all. All I can really do is make sense of it and add more to this story. I thought about lines going through other lines, people passing each other by, and missed opportunities. Because all you can think about is the one thing in front of you, while everything around you is moving on and changing.

drew a larger version
it's crazy what a simple drop of curiosity can do

passed me by and didn't even notice

Untitled 13x18 in

It's been awhile but here is my latest drawing. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I drew this. I really just wanted to play with the lines of water and the extension of branches.

different pages of you or me

I find the best time to doodle is during my professional development days when I'm sitting in the auditorium listening to a seminar on bomb threats and school emergency protocol. These are the different pages of my life, things change and shift, fall and grow, and perhaps I can become the person God meant for me to be.

broken tree 12x24 in

I am amazed at how brokenness can bring about an urge to express itself.

pouring down rain 12x18 in

walking away, running away, sailing away 8x10 in

Had this urge to draw this boat sailing as I was jogging near the boat docks. This sailboat just seemed to be waving me over to run away from all these inner thoughts of fears, insecurities, and melancholy piling up inside my head. It is really strange how some artists are inspired to write, compose, draw, or do anything when there are thoughts like these bursting out of their heads.

Reflection through Rain 8x10 in

it's interesting how you can reflect and evaluate only through storms and bad weather in your life. The tree looking at its own reflection in the water as the rain shoots through the water

where what where 6x10 in

when i drew this, I was in that state of hesitation. Should I walk through this road or some other road? Asking questions that left me uncertain of where i'd end up but certain that i needed to take that risk, I decided to follow this road and see where it leads me.

my notes falling off 8x10 in

i'm not sure what was going through my head when i drew this. I was listening to one of my favorite artists live as she sang songs of letting go and getting over her broken relationships. It seemed so fitting to draw a stringed instrument shedding tears. The way the notes would fall off each branch into the waves...

growing up 8x10 in

My tree is growing so late. Running into things unaligned but moving forward and growing...
