I feel as though I'm holding something brief and lovely encountered, drawn right on the trail. Drawing takes the viewer down to the sometimes otherwise, unseen elements of a picture. My sense cue into what is rough, soft or wet. Unlike a photo, drawing allows us to imagine. What might the colors be like? Did the morning feel cold or cloudy? Was it spring or fall? Beautiful.
