  • Rhinovangogh

    Rhinovangogh 18 days ago

    MIMI! This is soooo inspiring! Here are my thoughts: Wild Ginseng headed woman sadly imploring release or a place to plant her head. Umber-washed, tatooed on retinas; no blinking removes strong medicine so soul-rooted. Free of old soil her roots sink in dream garden;tears nurture as she grows. Singing sad and joyous songs of memories yet to come…

  • mimi yoon replied 18 days ago

    wow rhino C.... i am very proud of myself to have inspired you to think of that wild ginseng headed girl story…. ; ) and thank you very very much… : )

  • mimi yoon replied 18 days ago

    tthhhhaaaaaaannnnnnnnnkkkk youuuuuu, cm…. so very much…. : )
    you cannot force yourself to be free…. crank up a tune and drown in your canvas….. zone out…..

    and trust me, i am always afraid….. i fight it and win most of the time… ; )

    during high school, i attended a scholarship life drawing class for gifted high school students at one of the most prestigious art colleges…. and i was lucky to be taught by one amazingly inspiring instructor…. he once told me to dance… don’t draw but dance with the figure…. and feel the figure before i start my dance…. that’s all i needed to learn… hope that helps you a bit, cm… : )
    thank you again~ xxxxx

    This is my favorite from your entire collected works so far. I have always loved the idea of magical creatures, related to people that extend into pieces from mother nature. Just the beautiful extensions of her lines turn so delicately from human to tree, flowing so perfectly. Wonderful.
