This piece is inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week that’s just left us.
Belated and as cryptic as things might be (as usual) here in Bleu’s world, better late to the party than never right?
Narwhals it seems, and I’m sure I’ve said this before, are a perfect remedy for art blocks I'd say. Wasn’t going anywhere last night, that is until I gave things another go and this fellow here saved the day!
There were several (probably too many) contributors to the development of this idea.
1. Sunshine prompt from my other sketching group
2. Contour/outline art from my digital group
3. My sister always encouraging me to “do a scene”
4. The quote from my Doodle Addicts friend Dean C. Graf website
Note: This was completed part in procreate (see prior post) and sketching using graphite and some pastel pencils.
The quote:
It’s not what happens to me that matters, it’s my opinion of what happens to me that matters. (Epictetus (Greek philosopher)
The meaing:
“The quality of life we experience is determined by how we respond to life’s challenges.”
I had this bizarre dream recently that I saw some
maniac driving in circles around my neighbourhood in what looked like a Reliant Robin, ready to crash into whatever they could at any given moment… yes, my mind (awake or asleep) works in weird ways but it gives me ideas so, hurray?
