"Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated." ~Auguste Rodin

Contemplation

This work started as a way for me to continue the lessons learned in " Water Dancer". This work had no original drawing, it was all done spontaneously, in a stream of consciousness. Scale was not considered, I wasn't interested in reality, just the gentle push of, "yeah, that feels good."

Allowing what is

I practiced allowing, what is, to just be. Be here, be big, be tedious, be simply complicated and to be soft, like butterfly kisses. It became what it wanted to be. In the end, so did I. I think that is a good thing. I enjoyed this work, I felt rested everytime I came to it and surprisingly, when I left it each day. The work was hard and satisfying.
