illustrati

It’s been a crazy summer that’s kept me from posting much, although I’ve kept fairly consistent drawing in my sketchbook. With a cross country move and taking our oldest child to college, we’ve burned about 4,500 miles on the road in the past month. After getting our son settled in his dorm yesterday, my husband and I have become official members of the Empty Nesters Club - giving inspiration to today’s sketchbook entry. • • • #sketch #sketching #sketchbook #sketchbookpage #sketchbookart #sketchaday #dailysketch #ink #penandink #pensketch #illustration #illustrator #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #emptynesters #nest #birdnest

"Facade" depicts the duality between constructed appearance and natural image. The old woman manifests societal idealization of beauty within her headpiece, burdened by the intricacy. Aesthetically pleasing symbols around her echo the notions of her manifested identity. This facade subconsciously contributes to continuing superficial values.
