New Ellen Drawing--Untitled.
May 11th, 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.

The first word that came to mind is "exquisite".

Very nicely done!

Yow...reminds me of an ancient wood carving. And like the best art, can be totally appreciated in the whole...yet the best part is in the detail....I think I'll be looking at this for a LONG time....

Best,

Jon

A very nice piece of art! I think you can look at this drawing a 100 times and still see something new.

Amazing.  I can't imagine how long that must have taken to complete.  Such a lot of detail.

What detail!! How long did it take her to do it? I'd love to see the original. I can only imagine how good she's going to get in college if she's entering with so much talent now!

Hi Charlotte,

I asked El, and she said "24 1/2 hours, total".  Pretty specific.   Grin 

She's been keeping track of that sort of thing lately.

Best,

George

fasinating George!

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.

How does this evolve? Do you see it and just let go? Do you have a map?

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
