Secret

A little bit late to get this secret posted. Can you see the faces.  Its pen and ink on water colour paper.  Secretly hidden faces having a secret conversation.  I have been a little busy lately and miss making the time to put something on static pencil blog.  I think the name ''static pencil'' is quite apt.  I do sometimes seem to get static, or stuck and not finding time to just have some fun.  Sorry if I  have not visited some of you fellow bloggers recently, I do love to see what everyone is posting.

SWAMP

Not always time to put paper and pencil together, I get swamped by all the other chores and activities.  Art is my health and well being time for me and I am making every effort to allow half an hour a night to concentrate on this creative outlet.  Using the word as a theme and depicting whatever comes up just by associations, I am intrigued by my own process as it grew.  I allow the pen and paper to meet and allow the process to happen.  Looking afterwards at my image I had an ''aha'' moment.  For me this presented the feeling of how all sensations around can begin to swamp the person ''me''.  I am there in amongst the growth of whatever it is that is swamping me.  I have a look on my face that tells me I can choose where I want to be.  This was at the beginning of the week and have since stepped out of my swamp and been embracing my pastel images that I am building a collection on.
