Hi I’m Alice

Why I sketch?   Only if I want, but it did help my situation.  eg.     I have been doodling for over 60 years.

 

However, before my stroke 4 years plus years ago, I would draw a train and send if to my older brother who resides in New York (yes he loves lionel trains always).

 

So--   I also heard it is like a meditation.  You get wrapped up in your drawing and times goes by .   It could also be using a different part of your brain-- to be sure.   Everyone who views my sketches interprets what they see.  But my sketches include my visual and also what I am feeling.

 

It is always therapetic ( so to speak) to get in touch with others and yourself.

I sent 4 of my sketchs to an older couple in Germany ( speak no english) The man of the house had a stroke..so I sent art to him and his wife...a gallery to them since it is difficult for them to get out.    I call that GREAT  COMMUNICATION     without words   

 

I use pen mostly, pencil, colored pencil,  some acrylic ,  reading about watercolor
