Sheep Have More Fun – 23-07-21, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper

2021

About the Item

Yugen Sheep have more fun or do they? It so happened that my dear friend, poet and photographer Alexis de Roode went for a little stroll in nature. Obviously to experience some y?gen or any other aesthetical feel inducing inspiration. He must have catched a swell drift for the photo he shot was true of aim and a wandering beauty. It was love at first sight and I saw the potential for a great drawing. Frankly, I felt as if I did not had to add much value. All the sheep were present at the very spot they ought to be. Upon my word, surely a poet recognizes the momentum and grab it by its fur. Meanwhile sheep feast on leafs or should I say: wolf a meal down, not knowing what lingers above their head? Mixed Bag I kept forms cubistic and realized it was quite some time ago I combined cubism with surrealism. The last one was my graphite pencil drawing Monkey See, Monkey Do – 05-09-20. That one being rather hilarious, this one turned out rather mysterious. I think it has something to do with a little bit of yugen I experience myself of late. Through my extensive hikes during the lockdown I came to think of new ways for my art to turn to. Perhaps I should tell more tales with my art works and pause the formalistic approach for a while. After all, I made plenty work in my roundism style and I feel squished like a grape artistically. Which higher powers may know where beauty wanders off to next, only to be chased after by me? Should I become a wolf in sheep’s clothing or just keep on chewing on familiar artistic leafs?

    By Corne Akkers

    Embracing Trees This graphite pencil drawing Park Hoog Oostduin – 14-09-22 follows directly after Het Sterrenbos – 12-09-22. Suddenly I found myself embracing the love for drawing trees again. Must be Autumn approacing. Throughout the years I see patterns in my sketching activities. Spring and Autumn by far are the most present in my art works. Some in Summer but the heat can be not pleasant to work in. I also get used to leaves on trees quite quickly. Only to forget how beautiful they are quite rapidly when November arrives. Then they start falling off trees and I often realize I did too few sketching outdoors. Repentance comes after the sin and 4 drooly months will follow until Spring arrives. Here it is, my yearly nature sketching...
