With a pencil held in an anxious hand br Creativity blossoms and takes command br To draw what is felt…beyond what is seen br Filling with a touch …the spaces in between br The swelling desire to create stirs to motivate br With paths of light and contours that navigate br With fascination, the drawing gradually appears br Time evaporates as satisfying completion nears br Standing back with a squinting eye to scrutinize br Your endeavors have translated and improvised br It is not an imitation, but an interpretation of reality br The image seems to have internal warmth and breathe br As an artist, you do not pretend to be a snapshot mimic br Intentions are to satisfy self-expression without a gimmickbr br Theresa Ann Moorebr br
