Marty your words resonate for me also . I reflect on how much effort and frustration trying to draw accurately takes ! It’s a skill to be learned - but in the process and artist can lose their individual unique expression. It stops creative people from exploring different ways to draw and paint when the emphasis is on perfection of capturing anything in a lifelike way. For many years after art school I abandoned my painting as it was time consuming and soulless . I gravitated to collage and mixed media as it loosened me up and still allowed me to express something - now in my 60’s I m back to drawing again .. go figure . I have a different accepting attitude now to express differently . It feels wonderful! Ps love your Jesus drawing Cheers and thanks for your thoughts Heather
Love everything about this post, it’s all so relatable (sadly, in a way...). Thank you for putting into words what I am sure we all experience on some level, for some things we do. Also: given the time span for his presumed existence, I’m fairly sure Jesus DID have earrings 😂
