The beginning of any school year is always hectic ... but this year so much more so! I'm teaching all of my high school students remotely. All the hands on things we usually do in person is now digital. It's an entirely different kind of stress! There hasn't been much time to sit with my own art.
But yesterday, Saturday, was a rainy day - and it was a day of art therapy for my own inner soul!
It's was most needed!
The top picture is a pen and ink drawing of a garden scene. I always love the look of pen and ink - lovely detail, delicate shading with line or stipple - it just captures my imagination.
But the need for color on a rainy day is compelling - so I added watercolor to bring it to life.
Sometimes you just need, for yourself, to indulge in line, shape, and color.... to free your mind of stressful thoughts, to let your hand flow freely over the page... it's deep therapy!
