Essence Drawings

CLARE COOLEY'S Essence drawings 10 Botanicals Lines in circles

“A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.”These “Essence Botanicals” —— Paul Cezanne

pen and ink drawings below are some of my very first visual art in my twenties. I did them in the botanical gardens during the winter because I missed green growing things. I still love distilling subjects to their essential lines.
