more work (from the left)

DOG, 15X11, mixed media (pen, pastel, ink, acrylic)
on heavy weight cotton, wheat colored paper, 45.

My left hand is my non-dominant hand and these drawings were solely created by only using my left.  My husband asked me what I am learning from this process last night.  I don't quite know yet.  Initially, I thought it would be a great exercise in loosening up my process but I still don't feel like this approach is working.  I notice that I am definitely working more slowly and I am less attached to the outcome, that the outcome has even more freedom to become what it needs to be.  But I just don't know.  I will continue until I am finished, though.  And I won't know when I am finished until I am.  For right now, I have exclusively created with my left hand for one week.

I am continuing to do a studio cleanse with hopes of finishing by the end of the year.  In my first attempt at spontaneously selling work that I had "found", each piece sold out within a matter of minutes.  THAT was fun and it was so fun for me to think of sending this work out into the world, especially to people I knew would appreciate it.  

I love creating so much I would do it for free.  I know I am not alone.  When I went to the post office with the first round of shipments, my postage bill was a bit larger than I had figured (good to have clarity).  For the second round, I had to bump up my prices a bit, especially considering size.

These pieces aren't part of my studio cleanse, however.  These are originals too, fresh off the press and created with a new process in mind.  They are listed here for at least 25% less in an effort to continue moving my work in a consistent manner.  

If you LOVE one of these, email me for purchase information.  Paypal is the easiest way I have found to do this.  These prices also include US shipping.  If you know of someone who would LOVE one of these, forward this to them.

I love this quote by renown museum administrator and director, Juliana Force:

I am also selling these original, left hand drawings for 30. each
