SilverEye

and in the same way as the Red Robin, I did another one as well : a Silvereye (or Wax eye)

Contemplating..........................Nature vs Nurture...

Here's the latest journal entry in my Mermaid Journal/Sketchbook

I've been working on this one off and on for a little bit now

and I think I finished her
She is thinking about beliefs about drawing and art
and about Nature vs Nurture
... or...
does someone have a gift for creativity
or can it be nurtured /taught ?
I have written in her hair:
"Think.feel.see.create.express~joy.regrets.secrets~
every spot part of my shadow~
every line it's own meaning~
drawing.sketching.painting
HOW could an Artist live without ?""My first Art teacher in Highschool wrote in my poetry booklet:
If one wants to draw, one does not need to have talent
but curiosity and warm attention for everything around"So I used a small copy of this on my right page, to remember this.

Where do I belong ?

One of the journal entries...

While I was starting to draw something over the gesso layer that I had painted over my text,

I suddenly had to think about the little hermit crab with its house on its back, that little hermit crab belongs wherever it is, because it's got its house with him.

A comfy thought....

Mermaid Journal so far...
