New Ellen Drawing--Untitled.
May 11^th, 2009 at 11:08pm

I'm very fond of this one.

The format I've posted it in is rather small, and it doesn't do justice to what she's done--if you're so inclined, you might wish to take a closer look with a magnifying glass, or blow it up.

She tells me that the odd thing about this (ink) drawing is that whenever people look at it, they seem to have an impulse to pick it up, handle it, and look at it from various angles.

She loves detail, and this one is filled with it--some of it too small to be seen readily. El believes in including detail which isn't readily observed.

Looks somewhat classical, I know. My understanding is that it depicts the "golden age" of an alternate world.

When your daughter does this kind of work you just KNOW that she isn't sitting mindlessly texting someone 23 hours per day and ignoring life, and everyone... around her. She not only has talent but a very vivid imagination and intellect.

HellifIknow. No map, as far as I know.

El's finished all her classwork, but she still has two weeks of school left. Consequently, she has a lot of time at school to dink around, doing nothing much. When she's idle, she writes or draws.

She told me she just started doodling. So it's a doodle, more or less.

Dunno. <shrug> She's different from me. Wink

Best,

George
