This drawing is beautiful -- thoughtful and frenzied all at once. How do you do that?<br /><br />In 1982 I was playing in piano recitals and not even dreaming about art (except for music, and boy, did I have dreams!). <br /><br />I admire your history with art and am excited to watch your present move into your future.

But now that the drape is mysterious they might be forgivable. Great call! You've altered my consciousness. Now I'm rather enjoying the mystery.

Yes, some...Hello again John--Thanks for commenting. Yes, somehow I kind of knew you'd notice this piece. It may be of interest for you to also note that your little store entries reminded me of all this--to see them all lined up, all wonderfully consistent yet each with a life of it's own, is quite an accomplishment. They really are nice pieces--I love the possibilities of light in the architectural context. My pieces will explore the same only through sculptures. You'll see.
