I agree with Nancy, every shadow, curve, placement, shade and texture...all counts. A seasoned artist works these out with precision...and the results are wonderful.

Vivian, it is not easy beginning your dayā€™s tribute...SO MANY SOUL-speaks from which to chose...When I saw your DRAWINGS COLLECTION and the flood of so many organic soul-studies of lifeā€™s EXTRAordinary Ordinarinesses, my tribute Naturally begins. The relationship between levels of growing enlightenment and the ability to see life energy in ...a stone....is explored in various meditative practices. Your pulsing ā€œdancingā€ technique is so tenderly, almost reverently...quieted ...to a gentle stippling...a deepening Knowing of the dark shadows...I pause.... to sit in the stillness of the invitation...to ...BE....namaste....

VIVA Anderson replied:

Laurel, Thank you so very much, again, here, because we share the calm of quiet, still things, so precious for the soulā€™s peace....VIVA
