A Small, Abstract Pencil Drawing.

A small, abstract pencil drawing.

I draw these at night when I'm tired and have stopped thinking. They have become my (almost) daily art practice.

I tried drawing with a brush pen for the first time and I was way out of my comfort zone and not happy. At all. (See below). Note to self: it would have gone much better if I had no expectations of the brush or my ability!

I hate feeling despondent so I tried to to salvage the situation by distorting a photo of it with a kaleidoscope app.

It was fun and at least it banished my blues!

A shallow puddle filled with the most beautiful, organic patterns of reflected trees and swirls of water moving over and around pebbles. I love these muted colours too. There is beauty in winter and it makes my heart sing!

The Way Home

A small, abstract pencil drawing. I draw these last thing at night right before I get into bed.

This one has a sci-fi feel to it. Is that a helmet at the top?

I use a 6B pencil because I love the really dark lines it makes and the powdery-ness of the graphite.
