the line

I have seen the edge of the earth. The horizon line so bold and true. I have seen the edge of the earth and peered at the emptiness of time. I have seen the light break over the tides and watched the sky set a blaze. I have seen the edge...

Step nine: this paint is thick ma cherie

a layer.
a calque.
a dab of red.
a glob of purple.
a touch of yellow.
a tube of memories...
let it run, let it bleed...
I can not remove you, you see.
I can not erase you.
I can not dilute you ma cherie.
Your color so strong it stains me.
I try for a new day, a new canvas you see, but as I pull the layer of night over me.
it stays...
It stays.
and it stains...
Your smile.
Your soul.
Those eyes.
Your touch... it has stained me ma cherie...
I can not dilute you.
I can not wash you out.
I can not dilute ... It pangs me.
He can not lie to the heart that diluting is not fix,
this paint is different,
this paint is thick...
Oh how it runs...
Oh how it bleeds.
this paint is thick, ma cherie....

Step huit (eight): drawing in the motion

So realizing again that drawing people in "the moment" is such a difficult task. Trying to capture the essence of someone while also trying to get the form correctly in that very moment... is, well, challenging.

Side note (I need more work) this journey is just starting. Its been difficult. Its been slow, but its worth the journey and process. Its worth the patience and its worth therefore... seeing the change. That is and will always be our greatest achievement in life... overcoming the challenges of ourselves.

adam king... signing off.

Step Six: There's no place like home.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhzbzwPNgXA

The last couple of weeks in Paris have been very challenging. Even though Paris is a wonderful city full of beauty and imagination it still is a city. It still has its difficulties just like any other city. So, due to the challenges that I have experienced, this next piece that I have started was inspired by the simple fact that I miss home and family.

Thats why I decided to use Judy Garland in this piece. A beautiful actress that starred in many films, but more so, because she starred in the Wizard of Oz, a movie that takes place in Kansas... Where I call home. So I thought that doing piece with her could be of some symbolic meaning. The relationship that her and I have to traveling somewhere far off and mysterious and missing home, family, and friends in the process. So enjoy.
