Easeful Working
Another full day at the studio today, and again so productive. I always start the day with a cup of tea and a little meditation then a bit of scrawling in a notebook or sketchbook—whatever comes into the mind goes onto the page. For me it’s part of the creative process. Yesterday I did 18 small drawings, some of which I posted last time. Today I did another fifteen, this time using much more red. There’s something so clean and strong about black, white and red.
These are just fun to do, evocative for me and freeing. They’re a little different from what I usually do but quite nice up close. Not sure a digital image really shows them to good effect. At any rate, it’d been great to play with drawing and to cut up a lot of old drawings to make these images.
I’m not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow in the studio. I still have to do the banner for my new site which launches next week but not sure yet what I’ll do. It will come. And tomorrow is the opening for the faculty/studio artist show at the art center. Everyone agrees it’s a really fine show, full of fun pieces. I will photograph tomorrow.
