Description

Dad expresses a moment of intense inspiration with two musicians going at it in Washington Square Park, New York City.

Harmony and Synchrony forever play on their faces and in their body language. Dad feels their emotion and reflects every note with lines and colors.

Dad loved drawing. He often shared,

Drawing is the TOP of artistic expression because it allows for an intimate view of the human condition. It is fast and portable.

While his paintings give broad, colorful perspectives of large subjects, Dad's drawings show what is happening up-close and personal.

Happiness, Sadness, Togetherness, Love, and Loss are the energies he feels, and they find their home in his drawings.

The Drawing Days
I remember Dad leaving early and returning home late, with only his drawing tablet in hand. Inside his tablet were a few sheets of paper, and in his pocket, the drawing instruments - a fountain pen, a small set of colored pencils, maybe a piece of graphite, all held together with a rubber band.

Today, these visions of him walking to and from our home, tablet or easel in hand, stay with me because of their regularity, simplicity, and how he created such beautiful things with so little.

I also sometimes wonder if Mom was lonely while Dad was away on his many artistic journeys, especially during the weekends when she wasn't working. Still, she never complained and always had a welcoming meal ready for him upon his return. She supported him and his creative vision completely. That's true love, and they had it. ❤️

When I look at Dad's art creations, I feel the power of Harmony and Synchrony.

They are The Duet, and we can all feel their power when we put our hearts together.

So let their song play on forever. ❤️
