overwhelming beauty

I love drawing people! Covid interrupted this most enjoyable activity, but lately there has been thirst to draw people from life. Today during a one hour gap I went to a café and these are the sketches.

At some point there was a sense of overwhelming beauty in what was. It felt somehow unbearable. The way a huge wave would easily kill or sweep a person. And a weird embarrassment came with that. It felt embarrassing to look as if people knew about this bursting beauty and looking would be like saying a secret.

This might be a bad video, but it shows something enormous. I am lost for words. Let's just call it beauty. For eternity may engage the mind.

 Hi computer. Somehow this morning remembered the blog. Quite impressive, that 864 posts were created. Many of them with numerous drawings, photos and videos. The majority of them are hidden or what was the term? unpublished, reverted to draft? Whatever.

The drawings of people seemed quite good. I miss drawing people! When one disappears and there is just the happening of recording quickly for the few moments a person is seen.

One forgets. Once things are in the drawer, I no longer remember them. In a sense this blog serves as a virtual drawer.

We have been confined to the house for 4 days now. Because of horrible air quality due to wildfires. This time one of the many fires in the state is really close. Has reached as close as Thurston, Springfield.

Doodles from last night and today.
