Final Thought – Twelve Days in June
RECAP from DAY 1:
[For twelve days, instead of sketching in my sketchbook, I’m painting. One a day, whatever comes to mind, sometimes inspired by dreams or just meandering thoughts.]
POST:
Now, looking at the whole series together and noticing the grouping that begins with birth and end with death, I’m somewhat surprised to see this unconscious rhythm.
I would like to say I planned it but, not until day 10 did I realize there was a subtle conversation about different fears. The smallest thoughts that weigh on the subconscious, but too small to notice on the surface.
Twelve Days in June; and My Association of Fears
