Sunday Online Practice Class on Drawing with Ink

 Hello readers! I was quite a while that we haven’t had a free art lesson.  This Sunday, February 7, 10 a.m., may I invite you to a free tutorial on drawing using ballpoint pens.  It will be online and we will use zoom for our meeting.  To join, please send me your e-mail address so I can send you the invites and link.  You may use the form below, left side for a private message or use the FB Chat pop-up at the right side of this blog.

Since we will be practicing, be ready with your pencil, ballpen and paper.  I will be using a reference but if you have a subject you wish to use other than what I will provide, you may do so.  This will be an exciting art session.  Ready with your drawing table and camera so I can check your works.

See you then!

 

A Simple Poem: LONGING

LONGING by Rose Gob

How long has it been when I last saw you?

The 1st time we met was seven years ago,

Now all that we have are just memories

I feel my heart swell as I remember our stories.

Your words still ring out from the corners of my mind,

I vividly see the rainbows and the promise to find,

The warmth of the sun was a welcome embrace,

Against the cold wind as we walk that place.

Vicariously I lived through your eyes,

I long to be there when you sighed,

I long to share with you my baffling thought,

And reach out a hand to touch you for comfort.

Pens on paper. cards on mail,

A stamp on an envelope excites like a gale,

A call and a voice are not the same,

Compared to emoticons, or online fame.

People are social species of life,

An introvert still needs friend to like.

Enjoying the sunset as we wait the time,

For the thousand years sublime.

Alas, it’s one in the clock’s hour,

Let me close my eyes and door,

Count ‘til six, and all will be gone,

For this mind of mine would speak of none. 

Goodnight...
