Letting My Mind Wander

It's funny what happens when you let your mind wander, when you get in the zone a little bit. 

I was having real problems coming up with something to draw today.  I hope I don't have the same problem tomorrow.  I thought I'd try an exercise to free my mind of the obligation I feel to be as good as I can possibly be.  Today - this is as good as I can possibly be. 

It's just a little doodle. I was amazed to see something starting to emerge from the visual cacophony of discordant shapes. Though this was originally a free form exercise.  When I was done and I looked back at the photo I saw interesting shapes come out.

​I used some darks and lights to accentuate the image.  I thought what came out of it was interesting.  It was interesting to me. Many things that interest me are of not particular interest to many other people.  I can live with that. 

As humans, we're programmed to identify danger (Lizard Brain - it's the oldest part of our brain - survival - fight or flight).  Many of us are even prone to over identify danger. Even in the mix of color I saw the danger coming out of the picture. I'll give myself two points for identifying the threat.  

This was a fun game because it was a meditative process outlining the different shapes and it was fun to see something pop out of the digital explosion. 

Okay - this was a play day for drawing.  I'll set my mind on tomorrow and see what comes of the day.
