pencil and colored pencil in moleskine sketchbookthe red is from a venetian red derwent drawing pencil. it's a very soft lead, and it's the only one i have, but if you click on the link you'll see all of the other colors there are. beautiful, huh?
lately i keep going back to look at the work of herbert pfostl. it's like a nourishing broth for me...

The poet John Keats described this state of openness and preparedness for the advent of extraordinary in the midst of the ordinary “negative capability.” He defined this as “when a man is capable of of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.”

negative capability was a big thing for a prof of mine.
ReplyDeleteWhen i read it now, i think, what would we ever do without our own instictual knowing of this condition... would you openly engage in making a painting or a poem or novel out of nothing without already OWning this idea in your heart?
tell me, tell me true.
I like your little critter and the red is such a wonderful bit of color amongst the other lines and subtleties.
ReplyDeleteToday I played with your other piece of paper and just posted the wee painting. I so enjoyed it. Is there a front and back? I think I might have used the back. Thanks to you I am falling in love with the experience of tiny art.
heartfelt thank you!
