Terribly Understood, A Charcoal

January 8, 2015September 12, 2019One Street Shy

Because with alarming accuracy

she’d been identifying patterns
I was unaware of—this tic, that
tendency, like the way I’ve mastered
the language of intimacy
in order to conceal how I felt—

I knew I was in danger
of being terribly understood.”

– Stephen Dunn

I love working with charcoals. Although I’ve been working more with acrylics and watercolors the last few years, charcoal is my very first love – it was the medium I found at age 12 or so and remains my favorite…like an old friend who understands me..

Hmmm … One is laying on his back, one is not. Nice touch on that. Very very well done painting!
