After months of feeling guilty for enjoying oneself (is that true? or at least enjoying ‘being with others’) this First Friday even in Aurora was truly healing for me… I drew 3 people who were very thankful for their drawing, and it was a mutual experience of reward. I totally enjoyed the music in which was a backdrop for the experience, and the loosening of tense muscles as i let myself be swept into it…the drawings were personally a new level. I drew with charcoal, for the first time in decades, and the common theme in my mind as i was drawing was to portray the subjects as their higher self — one in which they could see their own beauty.
