Enigmas – Artists’ Thoughts
Sometimes the strangers I draw or paint become people in my life… with stories to tell, and lives lived, with their own joys and sorrows…they tell me tales with each line drawn, sitting in it with them, like I used to sit at the feet of Granny Hope, drinking in the tales she told me as a little girl… I can almost smell the air around them, and I never forget.
