Piano music in the background
Inspired by raspberry flowers and little shoots
Recently I've really enjoyed making patterns that are a little more free-form than the normal rigid patterns I've done in the past. I think in the last year I've really liked the organic feeling patterns the best -- the ones that feel like they're floating in the wind, or the ones that look like they're drifting on top of the water.
This is a good example of what I mean. I wanted to make something quiet and understated, with some little guys that look like sprouts.
I've also been listening to a lot of piano music these days. It's comforting.
This pattern reminds me of that music...
And here it is repeated!
I woke up really late this morning - though it's not unusual for me to wake up late into the morning, today was ridiculous. The sun was still out (thank goodness) and I went for a walk in the snow. It was the first big snowfall of the season and though I'm not a huge fan of it most of the time, it made everything really quiet and serene.
I guess that mood carried over into the night for me, so here I am, continuing to listen to my comforting music and contemplating the winter ahead.
I've been writing and sketching a lot more than usual. It's liberating and meditative.
One of these days I'll try to get some of my sketches up on here. Until then they're safely tucked away in my sketchbook. Maybe I'll slip and post a bunch of them one of these days while I'm in one of my relaxed modes. :)
