"I would hurry to my safe place, away from the tempest and the storm." Psalm 55:8

Through the window of this drawing, we are looking into a portal of calm...and turbulence. 
For this drawing, which is my largest so far, I could not seem to let it go to the gallery. Usually my work goes straight off to be viewed. But this time, keeping her with me for awhile was a compelling thought and almost a need during this past year of the pandemic. I was struck by it in a way that I wasn't expecting. So she did stay home with me for a time. I found refuge in it. 

The goal as an artist is always to communicate to others. And when someone has expressed that they are moved by a work, I feel the highest compliment. My hope is that you are as well.

"I would hurry to my safe place, away from the tempest and the storm." Psalm 55:8
