crip·ple adj. \ˈkri-pəl\
being flawed, imperfect or lame.
Old English: crēopan: to creep.
An accurate description of this pencil's creative journey : creeping along, flawed, imperfect and lame... yet gaining joy, insight and sanity from the mere act of creeping.
Gorgeous! I love the floats - I lived by the sea when I grew up and we would collect the floats like these that would make their way to the beach after breaking free from their lines. They always seem to be that special orange color - it makes me smile :)
So glad you managed to squeeze in a bit of painting... this is lovely... the paint and colour work in that top left hand corner is simply amazing... really wonderful...xx
I so love your water colour paintings! This one is very special and beautiful, symbolic and real at the same time! As is the quote that goes with it. Thank you for sharing!
