quick hands


Filling space, I drew in my lined journal, then painted on the back of the page (always moving on).

I wasn't going to post this hand but, rushed for time today, used it to keep up my daily postings. The red/blue leak-through (a cat drawn on the back) is an indication of my wabi-sabi** attitude toward drawing and the usual paint/ink splotches on my fingers.

I don't really have jaundice. It's always interesting (dismaying) to me to see how the slightest contour line adds such wrinkly age to body drawings!

Tech pen and w/c on thin journal paper.

**Wabi-sabi is the Japanese philosophy that embraces a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble.
