Hello, my name is Terry Worth,
and I'm a doodle addict. Kewaunee, Wisconsin United States

I am very much into drawing storybook illustrations. Some of my drawings are very naive. I have the ability to draw realism, but I prefer to create naive drawings. Some that I will submit will be just simple quick sketches, while others will be more detailed and involved drawings. My subject matter varies: winding roads, animals, angels, musicians, woodlands, architecture, and nautical things. My paintings on the other hand are more impressionistic in nature. Perhaps I will start submitting some of these as well. Thanks for your interest in my drawings!

I specialize in illustration, painting.

I love the song Blackbird by Paul McCartney. But, blackbirds are very territorial when they have young ones in the nest. There is a sunny tree-lined path I like to walk in the summer. I have seen a fox running out of those woods, a doe lying in the sun-drenched grass, and an irate couple of blackbirds diving at my head while I was peacefully walking by their nest of young ones. I had to start carrying a stick to ward them off. Blackbird Fly! Just stay away from me!

In this drawing, I was striving to capture the spirit of contemplation and reflection, a sort of spiritual sojourn, an ancient practice of pilgrimage, focusing on subjects of transcendent nature, and exploring destinations of spiritual significance. (words taken from scholarlysojourns.com). It is a self-portrait (me as a 14-year-old boy). We had just moved from Mequon to Rhinelander. It was then that I began to romanticize the natural beauty of Mequon. But at the same time, I was falling in love with the beauty of Rhinelander. In this picture, I am walking through the countryside of Mequon. The stringed musical instruments symbolize my love for the progressive classical and folk-tinged acoustic and orchestral music that was coming out of England in the late 60s and early 70s, specifically the quieter pieces of music performed by the Moody Blues, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, and Jethro Tull. A song called Reasons for Waiting by Jethro Tull is a good accompanying piece for this drawing.
