For My Uncle

12/4/2014

Not long ago some relatives drove out for a visit. I haven't seen them in twenty some years and it was nice to catch up again. It's amazing how the sound of a voice can bring memories rushing back as if no time had passed at all. We may look different but in most ways we were really the same people we were all those years ago. One evening we were glancing through my sketches and one of my uncles had a powerful connection to my melancholy drawings. It's an incredible experience when that happens and it doesn't happen often.

These are for you Uncle G.

Those experiences are rare, but they really make it the work feel worth it. Better yet that it was Uncle G, really, even though it's sort of sad that he was drawn to the melancholy. Then again, they are great drawings... you know how to get that feeling across.

It is nice when it comes from someone special. I've got the melancholy in me, so it doesn't surprise me to find it in someone else.
