Eighty-Three























Another model from life drawing. By this point I could feel myself start to calm down and draw.

In other art news, I just posted a collage on my therapy blog. This was an interesting assignment I made for myself, to illustrate breathing. I struggled with images of lungs made out of paper and paint but nothing felt right. The first conclusion I came to was that lungs are rather ugly. Then I realized what I was trying to say about the breath was not relegated to just the lungs, it was a fully body experience. How could I make that into an image? 

When I realized what I was really looking for was an image that made you feel like breathing when you saw it, everything fell into place.
