Sometimes it's a quick "copy," or an adaptation, or an interpretation, or sometimes it stretches beyond those things to pure inspiration. And that inspiration is a piece of what I'm after.
This daily exercise is already opening pathways to how I see and experience my world/s ~ the "ordinary" world around me, as well as the other ... less ordinary realms.
This little drawing, "We Three Queens," was inspired by an old book cover. The charming, stylized illustration appealed to me and I wanted to capture its simple quirkiness, and as I began, the voice of my inner crone spoke up and made a suggestion. Thus we have this representational adaptation. And a fitting adaptation it is, for the rule-of-gender has been a repeating theme for me lately.
I'll be returning to this little sketch at some point to add color, and possibly see what else might emerge from the deeper inspiration. In the meantime, I'm sharing it with you and with Sunday Sketches ~ so click on over to see other sketchful inspirations!
Peace.

Happy Sunday,
artmusedog and carol
very nice, it reminds me of playng cards.
Rose, I LOVE LOVE your 3 kings. Fabulous line work. So glad you joined us and I hope you return this week. :)
Maybe I will draw a picture today. Maybe I'm too tired. But I always like yours.
I am the same way: once the urge to draw hits, whatever paper is nearest becomes the canvas for the sketch. Love how your pen drawing came out and the process behind it. Thanks for the sunday sketch visit!
Love the Crone Queens
