I feel like I'm going through an odd and restless time with my painting. I don't really know what direction to take. I jump from one thing to another with little concentration. I've been keeping a little sketchbook of daily self portrait drawings and I did some in charcoal. Then I looked at my hand with charcoal on the fingers and wanted to paint that. But it's difficult to do and I ended up with the charcoal pencil stuck in my hand so I thought - thats interesting too. But they are very rough because it's the same hand I'm painting with if that makes sense.
