“I am enough of an artist
to draw freely upon my imagination
Imagination is more important than knowledge
Knowledge is limited
Imagination encircles the world.”

a few pieces from the past
i have found that i enjoy
the simplicity of sketching
more than i do adding color
this is something
i always did when i was younger
sketch
draw
doodle
it was always done with a pencil or ink
never color
i try to dapple in color
but often i am left with a disappointed feeling
a thought as to i should have just left it alone
and you know what i have come to accept
if i want color
than color it will be
but otherwise it will be just me
and a pencil or pen at hand
and really
its ok with me
becaues all n all
i am setting my imagination free
ps...sorry for the dark images...my lovely camera has a visitor that has traveled along and made its way into the lense...
a tinsy piece of something now has caused for a dark spot in my pictures!
price to get it removed is half the price of my camera...gggrrr...
hopefully this little visitor will not stay around to long.

Hello
i love your sketches
they are full of charm and sweetness.
color
no color
that is up to the artist.
happy day to you~
I personally, like sketches without color. I feel the same way about adding color, and if it's pen or pencil so be it. I love the look of black and white drawings and doodles, especially when I discover them months later, after being tucked away...thanks for stopping by, I've been remiss about visiting lately. Time gos to quick.
be well,
Lisa
Love your sketches. I've always wanted to be able to draw, but, alas, that talent is just not there. Never has been. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I love to see sketches....they hold so much promise, and yet are complete little entities in and of themselves. These are so sweet!
I love the time for tea and the flower cap blossom!
I find I am a lazy and impatient artist....I rarely sketch unless it is in relation to a project right in front of me....and then, half the time, I just sketch the underdrawing right on to the paper or canvas. It doesn't always turn out as ideally this way, but it is certainly makes the outcome more of a surprise...haha!
I always enjoy visiting and chatting....thank you :)

I like the faery's bluebell hat. Bluebells have always been one of my favourite wildflowers.
they are wonderful :) x x x
I love the naked, elegant quality of your sketches...they allow you to truly shine through...authentic and filled with grace:)
I'm happy that you are feeling well enough to post.
I can fully appreciate a black and white sketch for its simplicity often times more so than a painting filled with color. I love your art girlie.
Well this is fandamtastic that you posted again. I'm with Dark Mother you being here and feeling well enough to share is a happy thing indeed.
I love your sketchs just the way they are. I envy those of you who do that with ease. My SM doodles and draws without much thought.....I struggle to get something drawn. Now give me paper, scissors and glue and I'm all over it. Clay, glitter and embellishments come next. Paint and wood are third and then taking up the rear is pastels, watercolors, pencils, chalks.....blah, blah, blah. But you and your pencils......wow and everything says you. precious, precise, gentle, curved and sweet.....yep faerwillow. The Olde Bagg, Linda
I love a simply sketch.. I have always found that it is someone's realness that comes when they are sketching or doodling... a simply pencil drawing can say so many words in such a simple picture..
thanks so much for sharing yours with us..
These are beautiful! Creating images by drawing them is something I'm not very skilled at - I'm better at drawing my images with words. Blessings, Eleanor
Your doodles and sketches are WONDERFUL! I love your trees. :) It's funny, when I was younger I would only work in pencil - never color. I don't know if I was afraid of it or what. But now, I enjoy adding color to my pieces. I'm still learning to adapt - but I think I'm doing alright. Keep doing what YOU love! It's beauty will shine through. Theresa
Ohhh - these are simply wonderful, literally and figuratively. I love them! Keep doodling away - it's great Medicine!
Really like your doodles...my are just lines with not much pattern...it's special to be able to doodle in curves...lucky you...
Such sweet little flower people, it is always so lovely to go through old paintings and sketches! Thank you so much for your comments by the way, they are always so beautifully written and i always love reading them!
