I spent most of the evening cutting out magazine pictures, because I am starting a monthly Women's Art Group, and our first meeting is this coming Saturday. I am very excited about this group. It will be an evening of art, wine, food and friends. I have been feeling isolated and alone, and looking for a new way to connect with friends. I am hoping this will provide a new experience for most of us to build relationships and take it to another level.
I figured that I would have them start with collage because that is less threatening than drawing. The reason I mention this is because this drawing is inspired by a large picture of lips that I cut out of a magazine. Tonight I am drawn to that image for some reason, so I chose a red color that would be fitting.
I am trying to be very aware of what I eat these days. Conscious eating. Making better, healthier choices. Possibly the reason I was drawn to the mouth image tonight. Also, this image is very sexual and sensual. I guess that's where my head is at right now. It also looks like it is waiting or wanting something - the mouth seems anxious. I guess that is where I am .... Waiting and wanting.
As I was scanning the drawing into the computer, I realized that the very first drawing that I did in this series was "Red Violet". Oops. I must have taken a crayon from another box in the beginning. But the weird thing is that today's "Red Violet" is a different color than January 23rd's Red Violet. It's quite confuzzaling (that is daughter's word). I am now wondering if January's color was actually "Violet Red" as opposed to "Red Violet".
