On Drawing Rocks

On Drawing Rocks

There is pleasure in the doing…
The careful observation…
The drawing stroke, by line, by layer, by layer…
The balancing of colors, shapes, darks and lights.
Until the picture sings its timeless song…
Captured in the beautiful textures,

elegant filigrees, and surprising forms
of rock worn smooth by time and sea.
There is pleasure in the seeing…
And the feeling.
