Wow! Can she draw--Laurie Lipton

https://vimeo.com/ondemand/lovebite Anybody who can draw and paint knows drawing at that level of detail on such a large scale is more difficult than painting. You need many many pencil strokes, millions, and to be very accurate to draw like this, whereas you can paint using color comparatively quickly, as in one or a few days--though days may be spread out if --you have to cook and pay your bills and spend time with family, go to the dentist's and the doctor's. That's why her imagination and execution of her projects are so wonderful and surreal. Each painting is like a novel. Which is also why you shld never ask for or expect someone's art work for free, or for the price of paper, pencil and paints. Barter also seldom works, due to non-coincidence of wants. For instance, I did not want someone's small drawing of a prairie chicken, even though I praised it, in exchange for one of my big abstracts. Kyi May 1-12-2019
