Abstract Calligraphy: Exploring Miro

I've been experimenting with pen and ink 

drawn over oil/wax backgrounds.

Miro's abstract calligraphy is fascinating to me

and so I tried to copy it to see it more clearly,
experience it more fully.
 I think his calligraphic drawings

exemplify what artists can do with letter like forms,

making compositions with them in a range of
rhythm and movement both complex and rich
while at the same time using a script of
instinctive familiarity.

"The repertory of shapes which Miro uses

is coherent, as if it were alphabet, with

many angles, right and acute, wide loops,

heavy blobs, occasional round loops."

 Here I copied the entire page of Miro's A la sante du Serpent

but not in the exact order so that it would
fit the long canvas

I am hoping to eventually develop my own personal letter like forms

but I am many experiments away from achieving that.

The above piece is a hand drawn quote I made
 from Emily Dickinson's poetry  that I found

on Leslie Avon Miller's blog, Textures Shapes Color.

"And I am out with lanterns

looking for myself."
