An excersize in time and space.  This has become a month long side trip while working on a “space station” that my son constructed out of twist ties during a trip to the supermarket one day.  I was exploring possible backgrounds when I got drawn into this little thumbnail.

You never know when something will become so significant to you, moving forward.  I told myself I’d be done with it yesterday, even going so far as to sign it.  However there were some elusive parts of it, particularly the bright light at the center, that I desire to leave with a sense of having conquered it, instead of just moving on.

This picture is composed of dots.  Points of ink with an archival ink pen.  The reference was a picture in a children’s book of knowledge.

I am so close…

Here is the original sketch from my son’s twist tie sculpture.

 

And some color studies of the subject.
