Sitting Place not quite a WIP
Sitting Place (10 3/4" x 14" - 27.3 cm x 35.5 cm) has been kicking around for a while. My Lady told me it looked unfinished - and I agreed. So I pulled it out of the frame and have been scratching away on and off for the last little while.
Originally a combination of some pencil crayon and micron pens, I cleaned off most of the crayon before doing the extra drawing.
I called this thread "not quite a WIP (Work In Progress)" because it hasn't been scanned from the beginning, there is no definite end-point, and I will simply draw until something says stop.
I had a write-up about Sitting Place, but the original text file got fried with a computer crash and I can't find a hard copy anywhere. But the drawing is about how we all have our special places that suit us and fit us, and we use these places to support that inner life which is so important. It probably isn't obvious anymore, but the drawing has the central figure seated inside of an ambiguous tree/stone formation which has another creature sharing the space - a snake-type beastie living it's own life in it's own Sitting Place which happens to overlap the central figures Place. And the formation these creatures share is actually the central figure's profile. So his Place has his imprimature, and he fits it like no other place could fit him.
