Eye, the Lake and I

The property at the  Morris Grave's Foundation is very much like a three-dimensional mandala for contemplation. I had the pleasure of spending 2 weeks with out television, radio, internet or music. I became like a child reconnecting with the  natural world I executed a suite of 50 drawings from life.
