This is an in the moment, right now self portrait. I did it on a meditation retreat I returned from last week. The instruction was to sum up where you are today and how you feel about it. I am inspired to do one a day being that I feel very different from day to day and even moment to moment so the possibilities are endless (and neurotic?). I didn't want to pre-conceive the drawing and had no idea what I was feeling until I started to draw. Thinking through your hand is a magical experience and takes all the pressure off of "you" to come up with an idea. I drew and the ideas came. Amazing. Picasso's insight "I do not seek I find" was at work here.
