Mapping Thoughts

She is called Thought and came out of a thought. This one is actually heavily influenced by scrap booking {hullo EssenseVibez!} as I loved the little flourishes I saw all over the scrapbooks that I loved and I wanted to put them all over the place -- all over the place. I didn't necessarily want to stick something on the piece so I sat down and drew in each little swirl and dot...I sharpened many pencils that night.

I have another thought and that's a series of postcards. I have this perfect little book of post card sized watercolour paper and I want to put things on them. I'll be working on those soon.

I'm writing from the south of Trinidad today. Public holiday today and I'm at my sister's house with the family. Been a good day; quiet, reflective and a little pained. But that's not always a bad thing. I've been having many thoughts about myself, my identity and my life, not all of them good but it's a thing i have to work through.

blessings!

Oh my, she is beautiful! You've actually inspired me to begin drawing again, but it's going to take me a while to catch up to your speed :-P

We just started the rainy season here so we have lots of rain, hot, hot sun and humidity. But it's still quite nice.
