Jimla Alindðe

Jimla Alindde Alindze Dog Portrait

In advent 1996, I began to draw tahlyn (“greetings”) illustrating somber lit candles in colored pencil on black paper. These would alternate with night and evening sky scenes, eventually snowy scenes. Most of the tahlyn were distributed, others lost. In the autumn of the next year, the tahil exercise lead to the jimla fiakral, or simply jimla, a drawing in colored pencil on the same black substrate, to render color and light. The style is called jimalmyne verone or simply verone. Such drawings would be much more loose than the rucisaime pencil drawings and earlier color drawings, dynamic, and focused on the effect of light and shadow, of texture and depth, rather than on perfect construction. Jimlyn would be “type-B” drawings, rather than stuffy “type-A” rucisaime sketches. This dog portrait was commissioned by a friend (Alindði /uh-LEEND-thee/), but never given to her as the relationship drifted. This is one of the first jimlyn fiakral. Produced 1 October 1997 = Tayya 5916, five dozen ninth phase (Ñixaþ-Ajiñevral Xrga, “life-phase of Jennifer”).
