This weekend has mostly been a wash due to the "Super Monster Storm" also known as Hurricane Sandy. We lost power a couple of times today. I enjoyed the break from being connected. It was relaxing to sit and listen to the wind and rain and work on a drawing.
Today's drawing came from a great old tome that has been in my library for many years called
"History of Far Eastern Art"![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_v9yQ4vapvQEC68Ma07XZqnx7wJ8F_MVvjzu9pc-ankKsLAb4YYU8dxGnDTqjVYsyEElZmySocfQpE6HJGrPpX3Xh6k0knrIOjhXj3Hv5eT2G9oi6MsOdPJaOhfQFYAB77GfmYeybszlQ=s0-d)
by Sherman Lee. It's a wonderful, thick book full of photos of amazing art stretching back for centuries. My eye landed on a tiny bronze sculpture from the Indus culture, a "Dancing Girl" from the Mohenjo-daro region. I like her attitude and her weird, cyber-punk left arm. Everything ancient is futuristic again. Sometime many years from now, when I look at this drawing again, I'll think about the rain and the wind and the quiet space that Sandy gave me so I had time to dance with this beauty.
OK HW
