Thinking Thinking Thinking (Drawing)

Well it’s been a while since I’ve made a drawing let alone a drawing like this – a compilation of stuff swirling around my brain that day.

27 September 2010

Ink with watercolour. A6 (approx 6″x4″)

And oddly when I picked up my sketchbook to make this drawing and flicked back through the pages I found the start of a similar drawing from earlier in the year which had some of the same themes – although perhaps some in a different light.

Ink. A6.

Old thoughts. Is it losses or preoccupations or worries or wants? I can’t remember and I never finished or titled it then. Another mystery of the mind and the pen.
