I like the idea of letting myself go mild. I like making.
I LOVE people!!
I like people, too! Mine are more impressionistic/folk art – except for the icons which are very traditional. But I love your drawings, Ken! There is such beautiful insight and detail in them.
I find my purpose, love & message reflected in birds, bugs and creatures of nature……en theos†††jim
It’s people for me, as well, and your art inspires me to keep at it.
I like people, too. Every other day. And then I like alone. How does one draw ‘alone’?
I like ocean waves with their infinite hues of blues.
I love talking about the future with other people to get all the visions that are out there….
I love people too, but I do a better job photographing them than drawing.
I like people too ! I also appreciate what you do on your blog Ken. We live in a crazy world an when we get the chance to meet people like you, it’s a real blessing ! An exemple comes into my mind because i am readind Lewis Hyde at this moment…and it’s such a great discovery :
In The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property, Lewis Hyde uses anthropology, economics, psychology, art and fairy tales to examine the role gifts have played and continue to play in our emotional and spiritual life. By gifts, Hyde means both material objects and immaterial talents and inspirations, such as ‘a gift for music’ or ‘a gift for mathematics.’ Or, as Hyde himself so lyrically observes, “I have hoped . . . to speak of the inner gift that we accept as the object of our labor, and the outer gift that has become a vehicle of culture. I am not concerned with gifts given in spite or fear, nor those gifts we accept out of servility or obligation; my concern is the gift we long for, the gift that, when it comes, speaks commandingly to the soul and irresistibly moves us.”
