Today is a relatively mild, overcast, winter's day. The sky is full of grey clouds and the forecasters are calling for temperatures in the fifties. Counting down, it is now twenty-seven days 'til spring. Winter has flown by this year. There will be more frigid weather, but the end is in sight.
I have been drawing the last couple of days. There has been a resurgence of creativity after looking at the reasons I create. It seems as if there is something to be said for drawing for fun. When I was a kid I copied the work of many cartoonists. This was a long time before I knew what the definition of a copyright was. I still copy. I draw little pictures of Schulz's Peanuts characters and send them to my grandson. This is good fun. My wife loves Snoopy so I always draw a picture of him dancing for her birthday. A long time ago I remember something Emmylou Harris said about interpreting other artists songs. She said that she was an interpreter of others music. I guess that is how I look at art. I know, it might be a stretch, but when we copy are we stealing, or are we learning? I am not sure.
The drawing is of a pair of red sneakers I have. They will probably be worn until they fall off my feet.
