Thinking about a string of thoughts as a string of beads today.

Thinking about bubbles...and membranes and vesicles and cells...while working on today's drawing.

fidgetyhands,

@kristinHenry At first I thought you had put three thin pieces of metal on top of your sketchbook! The color-texture is fascinating. Even knowing it's a drawing I still want to reach through the screen and pick one up and feel the shape in my hands.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

@fidgetyhands oooh! I love that!

Instead of flowers, I'm thinking about Ginkgo leaves, this valentine's day.

Apparently, I've been forgetting it's February for the last few days and have been dating my daily drawings as if it were still January. Ha!

It's dark and rainy here in San Francisco today, so I went with a bright and cheery floral pattern in today's drawing.

kristinHenry,
@kristinHenry@vis.social avatar

I'm a bit distracted by dealing with this wave of spam on the vis.social mastodon server, so it's great to just meditate on art for a few moments.

Today's drawing is my comfort pattern, a floral, again.

Here's a work-in-progress shot.

Playing with combining two colors in the branching pattern some more today. This time, I drew the lines of the two halves of the 'tree' with two different inks. The result is less subtle than yesterday's experiment.

Here's an in-progress photo of today's drawing. I'm drawing the other half of the 'tree' with a different color.
