This is my third sketch.  I started it as a monotype with black ink.  I did not like it at all, and I have gone into it with acrylic, paint and charcoal.  I really do not know what to think of it yet.  It looks childlike-I am trying not to censor -so here it is for the world to see.

I found some quotes that I like from the book In the Making, by Linda Weintraub, by artist Michal Rovner:

"I am concerned with the blurring of human and animal, of existing and not existing, of being alive and not."

"We all share a struggle for existence - it doesn't matter if one is a human or an animal......"

"We all experience the fragility of being."

"To connect for a moment, with the force that moves through them is my aim."

  1. I really enjoy the first quote, "I am concerned with the blurring of human and animal, of existing and not existing, of being alive and not." Have you ever thought about playing with this idea and possibly working a human element into your work? I love the piece though, so moody, GREAT movement and rhythm.
