I have been busily making art through out this rather cold winter month. As should be apparent to any of you who follow this, i have not however been very good about documenting what i have been doing. Bad me!

Excuses, excuses, but seriously the sort of work i do is hard on the hands. It's not just the repetitive nature of the work, hand work, particularly embroidery requires a great deal of physical effort on occasion. Add in my encroaching osteoarthritis and it is a balancing act between creativity and documentation.

But, i am here now, so let us look at a few more of my Inner Visions.

| Inner Vison #12 |
Although my intention is that these are a color and line exploration i discovered that i could not bring myself to add color to this one. January 12th was a nice enough day; i was comfortable sitting in the cockpit (we are soooooo glad that we enclosed the cockpit) looking at the bare masts of the neighboring sailboats. Voila! The basis for this drawing.

Abstraction is very rarely pure. Most abstraction comes from something you see, something synthesized from the environment, natural or made. In this instance, our beautiful Nick Corso water pitcher.

So of course, after doing one black and white drawing i couldn't stop there. It would look odd, right?

My intention, that these would be completed in one sitting, in a zen doodle fashion, has been thwarted by the limitations of cold and hands. Sad, but that's life. The important thing is to carry on.
More later
