Admittedly, probably nothing to do with the new theme of strata. This is just a doodle I felt like drawing today. It seems a very happy picture, and I’m not sure why. I don’t feel particularly joyful right now!
I think part of me feels carried away by thoughts and it’s very easy to get swept up in the idea of something exciting or different for a little while. Maybe easy too to kid yourself on that it is the right thing, because the feeling it gives for that little while is good, right?
I keep thinking back to the Vectors entry and how I could do so much more with a real sense of direction. I get too interested in other things…I end up going a long way, and not really getting anywhere. Maybe I really should stop fixating on ‘getting anywhere’. Where is that, anyway?
My eldest has been reading Roald Dahl and I think something of this picture might be inspired by Quentin Blake’s sketches. I love Dahl’s powerful ability to convey characters, with a few simple (and poetically made up!) words. Quentin Blake does the same in art form. The result is not necessarily lifelike; sometimes grotesque, comedic, but always very warming somehow.
