Onward

Sometimes onward means going back
or stepping into The Great Unknown . . .

Recent photos of Nancy taken by Mona Diethrick
indicate that she’s moved from drawing to something else.
Arranging?

Bringing order?

Maybe a type of mosaics?

One thing’s for sure: her work as an artist is evolving.
And I’m just tickled
and intrigued
and thrilled.

Meanwhile back on the ranch,

I pick up where I left off on
In Our Own Language 3,

restitching the 50 drawings
I removed to give me a nice, generous border.
Is it just me, or are the days getting shorter?
And I don’t mean on account of the season or time change.
I distinctly remember getting more done
in the days of years gone by.

~~~~~~~ Backstory ~~~~~~~

Since June 2012:
She, Nancy, my developmentally disabled sister-in-law draws.
I, Jeanne, the woman who flat-out loves her, stitch her drawings.

    Were those her crayons? She was having SUCH fun working with them! Reminds me of how I feel daubing more color onto my panel parts each morning. Sheer joy!

      Tom, yes, they’re her crayons, and I chuckled at your asking that because she can be a little clepto at times, taking what she wants without regard for anything other than she wants or needs it. I am wondering where we go from here. Do I continue sending her art boxes filled with a hodgepodge of materials and turn her loose? It’s hard to miss the joy on her face, isn’t it? It is, as you said, the sheer joy of creation.
