I had a long work day and not as much studio time as I wished (also tired!) but I think you can see where this is heading. I am imagining dense overall patterning, and thinking about colors. But still a few sessions away from finished.
I’m not entirely sure about this change of posting progress rather than daily inspiration, but it’s what I want to do for now, so I’m going with it.
The scan is a bit blurry because the paper is still attached to a board that doesn’t quite fit on the bed. But here you go, progress of the day. I am really enjoying this retreat into repetitive, meditative process. i imagined the face as being more simple and generic than it turned out, but I’m leaving it as is till the other busy stuff gets sorted.
Here’s the state of things today. I guess I’ll make separate posts of progress, I expect this will take at least one or two more sessions to get to where I’ll call it done. There are a couple more waiting for further steps, so it’s possible that I won’t post many more of the usual thing before I take my usual week away from the internet at the end of June.
My garden does not have hedgehogs, but I always love to have places where small wildlife can hide, and the plants that find purchase can surprise me there. If only the local groundhog would please leave my dahlia shoots alone.
no inspiritation, so just pretty geometrics.
I meant to type “inspiration” but I like the typo, so let it stand. Maybe it’s insp-irritation.
diplomacy of the wild
This is probably too much information, but…I occasionally get bad belly pain from as yet unidentified source. It makes me feel exhausted and uninterested, basically in life, nevermind art. So this day I resorted to pointless scribbling, but at least bright colors. I didn’t mean to go with primaries, but that seems to be one of my default settings if I’m not paying attention.
If there is any meaning in this, it comes purely from subconscious guidance. As far as my conscious mind knew, I was just trying to fill the form of making something that I could post. And then going to take another nap.
I do feel a lot better today, thank you!
