The Magnification Era: Dreaming of a Harmonious World
Chapter II
I was squinting and straining my eyeballs, barely able to see the little creatures on the paper as I drew them! A local artist, Mark Siegel, suggested that I purchase an art magnification lens and lamp and SHAZAM! A whole new world
opened up for me and the animals. The mice (and everything else too!) got smaller and smaller and smaller! You can use a magnifying glass to look at the paintings!
When I use the magnification lamp, I am able to focus intently on the miniature world that is being created. Everything else melts away while I am drawing, and I’m able to catch my breath to restore a sense of hopefulness and peace.
