Every year, Mr. Saad Ghosn publishes a book entitled “For a Better World, Book of Poems and Drawings on Peace and Justice by Greater Cincinnati Artists.” He asks the artists what kind of poetry they like, and then pairs them up with a few different poems to illustrate. This year the book is in its eighth edition, and I am excited to be contributing this drawing…
Pencil and charcoal on paper
It goes with a poem that uses trees as a metaphor to liken dreams, family, and memories to the life/growth/death/new life cycle (at least, that was my interpretation) by Kathryn Martin Ossege. It’s been a while since I did a nice complete drawing without any software component, and I forgot how relaxing it was. I look forward to the book coming out and getting to see all of the other drawings and poems that were contributed.
Thank you for the gorgeous drawing you created to accompany my poem “Memory of Trees.” My heart skipped a beat the first time I saw it. Namaste, Kathryn Martin Ossege
