Change

Six or seven months ago I did a drawing of a house near where I live and about a month ago I noticed the house was gone - did I have a sense of that when I chose to draw it?

In a way, is my drawing predictive of change? What do you think?

Here’s the drawing

The Sign

And here’s the “missing house”, along with the missing tree at the center of my drawing but missing from the photo.    Did I somehow sense change and is that why I drew the tree, stop sign and house?

Missing House

 

What I’m looking for here - is how an artist picks motifs - do they reflect, in a very real way, where they’re at, or where they’re moving to?

Just a thought on a rainy Saturday.
