Title: Running Water (Sketchy Thoughts Series) Completed in: 2008 Size: 4" x 6" Materials: Ink on heavy white paper The words read: When I am cold and the air is dry, a hot shower feels like a miracle. When I am hot and sticky, a cool shower feels like a little vacation. I am always thankful for running water. (Gratitude.) |

MY REACTION: I have a lot of visual clutter that fills up my overactive mind. This series is one way of making room in my odd little brain for more necessary thoughts, like where I put my keys and when I have to take the dogs to the groomer and stuff like that. CONTENT: I take a lot of things for granted, but not running water. I love being clean. And moist. And smelling nice. Showers always remind me to be grateful. ARTISTIC CONCERNS: I sketched out four different boxed "frames" for the rest of this series and had those frames photocopied onto heavy white paper. Copier inks do not smear like India ink, so by having the framework copied it allows me to use my art inks more freely. The copied part is just the black lines that form boxes. Everything else is hand inked. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: This piece will need to be matted and framed if you want to protect your investment. I think these Sketchy Thoughts pieces would frame up beautifully with simple white mats and slim matte black frames. This would be a great piece to frame up for the bathroom!

When I am hot and sticky, a cool shower feels like a little vacation.
I am always thankful for running water.
Gratitude.
