The side door

Often when I’m working, a plan has me thinking in a linear way, while in the background the other ways of thinking can be quietly at work.

Today was one of those days when the side door opened and I crept in to make a bit of work from that other place. It takes so much beating one’s head against the wall to find one’s way into the depths of the river.

Above is a warm up sketch which told me I was heading into some good mark making.

Below is the tree born of an afternoon.

I’m actually quite pleased with it.

This is a good place to be. Now off for some dinner and a few tunes this evening.
