Softly Sleeping

I drew this this morning and I am really happy with it. Swatchee was my model. He was sleeping on the floor in front of me. I worked from life and then began slowly abstracting it. I think I am happy with it visually, as it is enough to carry me there, back to that moment, and yet it goes beyond that to make feel something true, something about me, something about life, that is very hard to express. It's the something the world competes with, drowns out, steps over and on, and yet here it is, shining brightly, telling its truth. This means something to me.



Today has been a difficult day, but when I look back on how I spent this portion of the morning, I feel good about it. Sometimes you are caught up in the troubles of others, and you cannot help them, and you feel like you are losing who you are. It is important then to do something to help you remember who you are.
