for those of you just tuning in see the 'catch of the day' posting for an explanation.
i've imposed few rules.
1 make 365 drawings while thinking of fish
2 one day at a time
3 alternate drawing between the left hand one day and the right the next day
an observation after 26 days at this:
the left hand is not 100% controllable. it's free-er to express the conversation it wants to have with the paper than the right.
enjoy today's blog post image (day 16) by my left hand. it wasn't interested in drawing koi that day...instead it made an embryonic seahorse and mermaid growing within a protective oyster shell. i found that this drawing makes me very happy, like when i look at Marc Chagall. just to imagine he might help from the other side is time well spent. day 16 is by far my favorite to date.
I love how inspirational this work is. It resonates with a childlike wonder and yet it is obviously drawn with a sophisticated vision. Fantastic!
