I always question my ability to improvise while keeping my left brain from previewing (and commenting on and labeling) the drawing. It is so reassuring when it works. Today I sat down to draw after three days of manual labor cleaning out the barn I plan to convert to a studio. The first marks I made were boxes, which is a kind of default mark for me and they often appear in the first drawings after a break. "Kind of a setback", I grumbled, but I decided to let it play out and planned to start the 'real' drawing after this 'warmup'. Next thing I knew today's drawing was done. It read like a book when I realized the boxes on the left looked a lot like the scattered pieces of lumber I spent two days taking to the dump. The middle section resembles the more orderly arrangement I have now. If the composition on the right somehow represents the future of the project then I think the new studio will be a very creative place.
