Drawing On Emotion

 August 30, 2025

   On our  last day on the beach, last Wednesday, the grandkids and I decided to do a drawing together. Frances took the sky, Weston took the bottom lands—actually the beach house—and I took the horse and rider. And we all contributed to the color.

   Speaking of beach mysteries, I told my grandson I would give him $10 if he stopped the Mysterious Asian guy with the boom box and found out his background. So Weston saw him coming and ran out and stood right in the middle of the boardwalk and held out his hands. Here's how that worked out.

   Working on a set of drawings to capture a certain horseback rider.

   I'm on a mission to capture the Mustang Mountains in southern Arizona. You know, these unique outcroppings near Elgin and on the road from Sonoita to Tombstone. If I'm not mistaken, these are the same Mustang Mountains behind the Duke, in this still from "Red River."

"Red River"

   It calls for a dynamic design and a skilled drawing execution and I'm still on the hunt.


"Drawing is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do."
