From little seeds big things grow. ;-)I drew this one morning during the High Sierra Music Festival in Northern California. It was peaceful other than the sound of the crows and the snoring. And I was most drawn to the details of the big tree looming over our tents. (click image for a larger view) It's one of the things I love about drawing moments from my life. In a way I'm planting a seed so that a memory can grow.
"Your vision will become clear only
when you look into your heart...
Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakens."
-- Carl Gustav Jung

ReplyDeleteCB's photoblog is about my grandfather, who i didn't know, as far as i can read it from the photos i inherited and the stories told by relatives. it was a strange and unusual life and family...
ReplyDeletehad he still been alive he would have been 131 years old.
