Intricate

 Painstakingly hand-crafted  ......

My right hand shakes when BP’s high,

Plus, I've no vision in one of my eyes,

These limitations contribute to the resulting shapes,

That from imperfections arise.

Beauty In Black And White

 Almost all of my drawings are unplanned and non-representational. I just draw and am then pleasantly surprised at the end result. It seems that I use an art form (without knowing it) called Zentangle Art. Thank you Mona Biblow for this information.

I am fascinated by the beauty of black and white graphics 🩶🖤

From Monochrome In 2022-2023 To Colour in 2023-2024

 

In September 2022 I completed 10 Years as a childless widow. 

To commemorate that landmark, I dedicated the past 12 months to innumerable pen sketches in stark Black and White with the tag line: 

"With the abject darkness given,

Beauty I sought to create, 

Made slits in that canvas of black,

To allow light to infiltrate."

In September 2023, I embarked on a new series of pen sketches, in the colours that I love.

Blossoming In Adversity

 From mere pen strokes into a picture telling a story ... blossoming in adversity.
