I keep drawing the trees, the rocks, the
river, Im still learning how to see them; Im
still discovering how to render their forms.
I will spend a lifetime doing that. Maybe
someday I ll get it right. -- Alan Lee
Drawing can be exhilarating, frustrating and sometimes
gratifying. It is an opportunity to see things differently,
through the lens of shadow, light and texture, and to add
your own special perspective to the world around you.
The drawings on the following pages show my changing
perspective as I reconnect with my artists inner eye.
