Live Rock Vibration FeelingsI'm running forwards and at my back there's a FULL THROATED BELLOW
of infinite beauty and truth!
It's singing meaning that's not crashing down on me but dipping easily inside of me and becoming my own with fiery sparks and a crystal clear glow.
It's first understood in my head, but it's travelling into my heart which then shouts the truth at my muscles,
Pushing it in deeper with each thud until they bunch and tremble with urges suppressed in the past, sensing freedom a mere jump-start away.
They leap forwards, pushing harder than they can against their oppressors, egged on by the bass rumbling through my chest, its vibrations spread

Here it is, as last! Drawn entirely in ballpoint pen (except for four yellow highlights in my hair which were drawn in gel pen because no yellow ballpoints were to be found anywhere in Australia!), just less than A4 in size, and having taken a bajillion years to complete, the drawing shows my Dad and I halfway up St Mary's Peak in Wilpena Pound, the Flinders Ranges, South Australia in 2010.
My reasons for not uploading this two weeks ago when I finished it include having to remember to bring it home to scan and then being too lazy to edit the scan. But here it is! A year and 14 days since Dad's passing, here is my memorial, my tribute, my thanks, my drawing, my art major.
I found the process of creating this therapeutic, cathartic, meditative and enjoyable and I'm very, very proud of the outcome! It is my second realistically coloured ballpoint pen drawing.

Thank you very much for the compliments! It can be quite a challenge, strangely tones of brown are the hardest to get!

Ballpoint pen. That's phenomenal, especially at A4-ish size :O

I can't believe this is done in ballpoint pen - it has such a soft pastel look ^^ I love the style and the colours. This is a picture with a lot of character. A gorgeous tribute to your father. You've got such a lot of talent. He must have been very proud of you ^^

It took a lot of patience to get it to look so soft! :) I love the expressions and poses the best. Thank you, I get at least half of my talent from Dad and he was always incredibly proud of me. :)
