Sayonara koi


It's the first day of my second year of graduate school and I have a knot in my stomach. It's not just because of school, but because I'm feeling protective of my new daily art practice. I don't want it to get snuffed out by the rigorous demands of academia. But my intent when I started this blog was to make art despite the obstacles, and this was the big one that I knew was coming. It will be an extra challenge now that I live in a house filled with objects shouting "Draw ME! Draw ME!"

There is a cream color in all the drawings of koi that doesn't seem to show up on the computer. It's so lovely, that cream color on newsprint, and helps to complete their form.
