Know what is a lot of fun? Coloring in graph paper! Something I have always loved to do! There is something so meditative about the process. You can really get lost filling in each square, bringing you into a state of complete calm and relaxation. And what a great challenge to give yourself, to create a scene or image by filling in all the squares on your choice of graph paper. There are yellow and pink graph papers and even extra-large squared graph paper. Working creatively inside the box could stretch the imagination more than working outside of the box.

It started with one square, but turned into many. I believe I enjoy experimenting with graph paper, because it is a small rebellion. Within the same machine made forms, so perfectly similar, I can create innumerable variances. ;0)

Squares From the Deep

Creatures from the DEEEEEP!!! I couldn’t help but laugh…. They were so excited! Enormous deep sea creatures? Do they exist? We now have proof they exist! However the experience as a blip, simply a glimpse, on the television screen and shown to us as a recording on another screen….. The experience in this way, well it was lack luster. What more could we expect from a news program, though. I much prefer the detailed and passionate descriptions of writers, artists, and those with colorful accounts in the colorful language of perhaps a drunken sailor. I found it the shining example, a beacon on the narrative cliff….. Art provides for us the closer encounter.

A little mesmerizing drawing today on much loved graph paper. Sometimes I enjoy the intense planning. Sometimes I need to exhaust the restlessness by marathon coloring in squares. Art is so closely tied to life itself that to separate one from the other is only possible in the product, never the process.
