Drawings

Drawing has long been my forte even though I do not practice it on a regular basis, nor do I feel that a finished drawing is a completed work of art; I've always looked at it as an exercise or means to an end. It wasn't until my retirement from my career, that I began painting, but now feel that painting is the culmination and finalization of any drawing. I have often gone back to drawings I did a decade ago, and have used them as a basis for a painting. I do feel that one cannot paint successfully if one cannot draw. Painting is still, in essence, drawing, only with a brush.
