A few days ago I sat down and did a drawing of my shoe. It was nothing spectacular, but I like to think studies of live and in person items are always good for the eye and mind. Yesterday I pulled out the pencil drawing and decided it might be fun to use some of the lines to start a new, abstracted piece.

As I began working on it, a strange, robotic, headless woman with wings began to appear. This was not the final product I hoped for, so I continued adding lines and turning the paper in order to create this abstracted landscape. It’s funny though, I can still see the woman so clearly. Once your brain has decided something is there, that seems to be all it can see.
