"Harold and the Purple Crayon," by Crockett Johnson (I really never thought about the actual artist/author at the time) was a book in Gurney Grade School OR I picked it up on one of the monthly Bookmobile runs from The Vaughn Library in Ashland, Wisconsin. It really doesn't matter.
What mattered was that with a crayon ANYTHING was possible. It was my first experience with a "page turner" book. You just never knew! Trouble brewed. Fun might happen. Relief could come.
All with the mark of line on paper. And so it continues today. Hooray!
Thank you, Crockett Johnson and Harold, for the adventures and the showing of the liney way.
You have YOUR reasons for being creative or wanting to create. Dare to share?
On to delivering some reproductions and other bear goodies to The Grand Hand Gallery in St. Paul, MN. On Grand Avenue, of course! We will be having a Truck Show and some drawing sessions in a couple weeks. I am both nervous and excited. Come join in the Adventure!
Fare-thee-well,
Sue
