Blue Mountains

Blue Mountains.
Alex Hinders. 2011.
Colored pencil and pen.

This is one of many drawings that are the result of a break-up from last year. It wasn’t an angry break-up or a mutual dis-interest sort of thing; it was just something that had to happen. Which is a shame. I felt it ended too soon. I turned to my art to try to make sense of it all, as many artists have since love was first discovered by those early romantic pioneers. I suppose we’re all just lucky I’m not a musician!

Say, that brings a song lyric to mind. I love song lyrics. Check this one out:

“Cartography
Is not my métier,
And the mountain side of daydreams
Too steep for me today.
Lovers lost before us,
And most did not return —
The few who so held out hardy
Now going down and burned.”

Never Knew Love

They Might Be Giants. 2011.
