Ok... I try to post these every year: They're the anniversary of my first sales as an artist. The series (consisting of 24 drawings) was called "brush drawings"---which were drawings of brushes (not by brushes): I loved brushes, I loved how they look, how they feel, how soft they are on the page...so I drew tons of them---all in pencil, and I sold these two. My first sales as an artist. So every year I post them hoping not to bore you (one can get sick of the same thing over and over!) just to say what a joy it is to be an artist, and share it with others. Everyone of you knows that feeling (The top brush is my avatar, btw.) That's all: Just wanted to share. I hope you're all well, and I wish you a peaceful and loving weekend. I'll be back in a bit. Thanks so much for your love, response and great vibes! I loved being in your galleries once more. All the best to all of you! mark ------------------
