Lynn Underwood

I am this group’s facilitator/coordinator. This gathering was begun by Joy, and I have been a member for 2 years. I am not a professional artist, but art is a central part of my life, and I have done some art for hire, commissioned work, and have been in area shows.. Most of my art is just a part of daily contemplative practice, and drawing people, animals, and ordinary things of my days seems to be the core of it. I live in Northeast Ohio in the woods near waterfalls. My main project just now is a book, with the rough draft just finished. My big effort this summer was for a lecture on compassionate love at the Chautauqua Institute. My website is www.lynnunderwood.com including a page with a bunch of sketches: https://www.lynnunderwood.com/sketches/

Here is a sketch of a corner of the room of my own in my house. Semi-blind contour drawing.

Some mess on my desktop. Better to draw something than be perfect:
