Drawing - part of the ride or the destination for you?

Interesting, Gregory. 

What's interesting about drawing is that it can be many things!

I wonder how many ppl STOP at drawing their final piece and continue to draw, only.  And how many move to painting for their finished piece?

Drawing is meditative flow.  Drawing is a series of rites of passage. Drawing is  open ended without destination if allowing it to flow out of oneself with consistency.  If one draws from the heart open to the manner in which one is connected to all things under the sun and within the universe then drawing is the evolution of oneself.

Even when I begin drawing as a study for a painting, I usually get so caught up in it that the drawing becomes a finished work. It's so relaxing - no hurry, can put it down and pick it up any time, and it's so cost effective

I am also wondering how many people pass by the drawings at museums and cut right to the chase, i.e., the paintings and sculptures?  I used to live reasonably close to Chicago and went to the Art Institute many, many times.  All those years I think I only went through the print and drawing halls once!  I would reverse that now, and head straight for the drawings, and then if I had time I'd see the paintings. etc.

Not I. The drawings always share with the paintings.

And speaking of drawings, here is what's at the Getty in LA..
