Experiment

White on black and see the effect. I bought a pen that is oil-based, waterproof and opaque and most important can be used for drawing on hard surfaces like glass, wood, plastic and ceramics. I found a notebook with a thick cardboard cover and decorated it with three flowers - the Glory Lily (Gloriosa superba), the sunflower and the passion flower.

Reflection

I nearly stepped on a tree
I halted for a moment
to consider what it might be
to have an existence
that becomes apparent
only when you choose to see
the details around
the ups, the downs
the inside out and the outside in
A reflection of a tree.

Gone fishing

Playing around with the contrast and brightness of the shots of carps swimming in a pond. I like the reflection of the sky above and the sprig of water plant dangling overhead like a fishing rod.

Time for flowers

How do you pass time that contains no schedules, no appointments, no events, no need to do anything except use it in any way you like? I do that by drawing. I let the ink flow from my pen as I connect with the lines and forms of my subjects. Time is wonderful when you have nothing important to spend it on. Time is a heavenly creation when you just spend it happily doing what engages your senses and nothing else intrudes into your consciousness to make you aware of it.
