it just takes one line
followed by another
color then some more added
and a smile or two
give me a long neck
or a furry mane
four long legs or short
will have to do
teach me to draw
show me to paint
clay in my fingers
don’t want to wait
look at the sky
God’s daily design
something fluffy and blue
that catches our eye
When you think of art you might say “I can’t draw?” Why?
It’s more a block in between your mind and your hands then you realize.
Children create more easily because they haven’t acquired the “hang up” of success. They just “do.” You are never too old to learn how to draw, paint, sculpt and there is no grade at the end either. So try a creation done by you. You may find that you enjoyed it and want to try another.
All the years I “did” art I was afraid to try portraits. While my artist mother can still teach me I am trying to learn a little about portraiture and practice!
I hope you’ll try something you’ve never tried before.
