Thank you for continuing to uphold drawing. Yes, in its contemporary nature it is much more than the "old master" skill that it is often associated with. To me, drawing is akin to thinking. It is the visual equivalent of writing or talking. It is the basis for visual communication and while it is often sidelined, it is actually the most important factor in good works of art. Good drawing finds its way into and reveals itself in the best paintings, sculptures, etc. I look forward to reading your future essays on drawing!
I so enjoyed reading your thoughts on drawing and especially liked your writing on Susan Pasquarelli. I looked at the 'You Tube' video piece on her and was inspirted by her practice.
I wish that I had become acquainted with her whlle living in Taos.
Such a good idea to shine your spotlight on some contemporary artists! I am especially pleased to see a statement and piece by Susan Pasquarelli. She is a great artist exhibiting major abstract watercolors and her generously shared online 'dailies', her praxis that delight me every day.
Thanks for introducing new artists into my creative world…
Stay tuned for more!

Thanks, Ann. Somehow, I lost track of you lately. I’m glad to get a fresh dose of your thoughts and words.
Thank you for feeding my head.
Stay tuned for more in a few weeks. Thanks for reading!
