The wind, Vital Breath of the Universe!

Post no.2
I started some drawings today, because that’s what artists do, draw. Well actually that s not true I haven’t drawn anything which is an observational drawing for years and years, it felt rather strange. What’s the point I can take photos instead!
These turbines stand in a row, like Easter Island Statues. They are iconic.  They are symbols of the future, a Green Garden of Eden where everything works properly, there is plenty of time and people are happy. Like advert land on the tele where everything is perfect.
The turbines represent an idyllic clean and wonderful future for all of us.
The little sailing yacht uses wind, but will cargo ships  ever go back to using wind and sails……..?
Was wind the first thing.
 You know before the earth. Is the wind the creator of it all, the breath of the universe.
That’s why these turbines seem so powerful. They are motifs for the beginning, and for the future. That’s why I was trying to draw them. But the result seemed to fall rather short of the target!
