Scribbles

I am quite pleased with the new mouth on my right hand horse. When I begin working a new area, I tend to just scribble in the color. Then as I add more colors to create shape and line, the image slowly forms. I almost always go through a period of doubt. There is this jumble of colors and marks and I think “This doesn't look anything at all like a nose.” I keep playing at it and try not to over think it. Sometimes I get up and go do something else for awhile. Like go make notes for this artist journal or play a computer game. Then when I come back I am surprised how everything makes sense. Most of the time I don't even continue to work that area. It's strange how much of the creative experience can be an unconscious process.
