---------------------
The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook. Like any hunter he hits or misses. He is looking for what he loves, he tries to capture it. It’s found anywhere, everywhere. Those who are not hunters do not see these things. The hunter is learning to see and to understand—to enjoy.
— Robert Henri, from The Art Spirit (Basic Books, 2007)
That's such a lovely thing for you to say - thank you for sharing it and for the beautiful words.
I am constantly amazed at the artistic & poetic talents that many of my tumblr followers possess. Here is a piece of embroidery I recently purchased from tamembro. The artwork is entitled “hi, what do you see” tears and eye in flower (if you look closely you will notice three tears (beads) beneath the eye). The piece is hand embroidered with stranded cottons on a linen background and stretched over thick paperboard; it measures: 15.5cm x 16.5cm.
The first time I saw this image, I immediately identified with it; here finally was something tangible that truly depicted the mysterious, melancholic nature of my muse. I plan to frame it, then place it above my desk in my writing studio, among the other touchstones which I draw inspiration. I’m anticipating the first poem I write while this piece looks over me.
