what's at hand, Monotype of the Day #452

Day 86 of Year 2 (Actually Day 87)

I looked at my Instagram feed today and noticed a lot of boats and some very similar compositions. I figured, okay, if this is the energy working through, I can at least switch up the composition. I had a plan and, as usual, it went right out the window as soon as I looked at my plate. 😊 Another portrait of my hand came instead. I feel uncomfortable with this piece but I've come to understand that is good. The pieces I like are easily understandable, they are working an energy I already know at least a bit. When the new is unfolding it's uncomfortable, it's the energy of change and that can be scary or at least challenging. I've allowed myself more freedom and abstraction here, it's always a breakthrough when you free yourself from constraints. And, as always, the work reflects my life. Today I had a breakthrough on something that's had me stuck for a while. Celebrations all around. Which reminds me of how very grateful I am to be able to share my work with you. Thank you to all who interact with my posts and to all who silently look. xoxo
