Inspired by my recent doodles on wood and The Primavera, I’ve been working in watercolour pencils. Beginning with my own “three graces”, I went through various stages until I arrived at a picture I’ve titled “Embracing the Waves”. There’s a story that I want to entice from this picture. Perhaps a children’s story.
Hers was a tale of tides, of swirling currents, shipwrecks and underground journeys.
Let us begin with a child, her name, Christina, found alone on the beach many years ago, as though washed in with the tide. Turning, we see that her eyes are pearls. Snatched by banshees, a child of the sea. Driftwood her shelter, broken rocks, her home…..
I shall ponder on this for a while and see where it leads me.
both drawings are wonderful
i love the movement, colors and light. your words make me want to continue reading the story. I hope you breath life into it and share the tale with us.
