Somewhere in New Mexico 2010

In 2010 I moved from Miami Florida to Los Angeles California. It was a great trip. I packed all my stuff in my Honda and took two months off to drive across the country.

I wound up spending most of my time camping out in the mountains of New Mexico. I was traveling by mysef and let me tell you, sleeping alone in the pitch black darkness of the New Mexican wilderness was creepy..

I remember one day I decided to go for a hike. I walked up a mountain trail following a small creek into the wilderness. After I had wandered for a few miles I found, growing by the water, a wild cherry tree covered with cherries. The cherries were ripe and almost black and so sweet.

So I sat down by the creek and made a lunch of wild cherries and cool mountain stream water. In the middle of the wilderness. No one there except for me and God.

Me, somewhere in Nevada. 2010

During my trip I drew in my moleskine a lot. It was during that trip that I hit upon drawing with red and black sharpies. The above drawing is from my moleskine. I was feeling deep into the colors and imagery of the American Southwest.

Some where in New Mexico, 2010

I've returned to this motif several times since then. Here is one I did around 2016.

Black Pen & Colored Pencils, Los Angeles, 2013

black pen & colored pencils, los angeles, 2013

Lines go where they want to. That's life.

There is no such thing as an incorrect line until another line is drawn next to it.

Colors, on the other hand, are like flavors.

Pencil Drawing On Watercolor Paper

pencil drawing on watercolor paper

Calbayog City 2024

I did this drawing yesterday on watercolor paper with the idea that I was going to paint it. I still might paint it but.... for now I just want to look at it and think.

I got the idea for the drawing from the photo below. I took this photo with my cell phone a few days ago on my way to the market. This will give you an idea of where I live. It's so beautiful here.

Orange skies - Arthur Lee and Love

4B pencil on paper

Calbalog City 2024

Sometimes, there is a moment when the drawing comes alive..

Like magic. Like life itself. Fragile magic.

Sometimes just one more line and the drawing dies.

Femme Fatale - Nico and the Velvet Underground

pencildrawing

Calbayog City 2024

I never liked The Velvet Underground until I listened to them.

Sometime around 2010 I downloaded their first album and,

I loved it.

Femme Fatale - Nico And The Velvet Underground

Highly recomended.

I think back when they first came out I was just put off by the whole seedy Andy Warhol scene so I really never listened to them.

Lesson learned:

"Don't dislike a band until you have at least listened to them."
