Elbow Room
This is an older sumi ink drawing, done long before the day of fishing. It does appear to demonstrate an affinity for octopus, I must admit.
I'm setting up tables downstairs to revive my sumi stuff.
It's time to clear the tables and spread out a bit. A little heat from the estufa still takes the edge off the night. I like to see my books out, many projects in progress. A nip here, a nip there.
On the site of our future kitchen, a room to draw in.
On the hotplate, a stew.
Music: I've just downloaded "Kind of Blue" from iTunes. Again. My third copy. (Don't ask why.)
(for scale)
Rainy day, perfect.

Very nice. Interesting and enlightening to see such a strong relationship between this and your recent "ahora" work, in spite of the media being so different. It opens up the new painting for me a bit more.
Sumi ink drawings are fun to do in the rain, cool effects.
Elbow macaroni is especially adaptive to nitrogen. Seen under a halogen, it appears much like this medium. Is this a happy medium?
