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
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.”
