drawing | the nondominant hand


·
norma chose this week's theme. besides the nondominant hand challenge, i've let the train ride decide where this one was going to take me.
·
seems to me the landscape outside my window had a hand in it too. legend: the purple and greens are average rides, the red dots are stops {yes, dotted with my left hand}, the black lines are speed between the bigger stations.

this was fun! the passenger beside me thought otherwise. kept on scraping his throat, he did. did he want to say anything, i wonder? ☻

  2. Heehee he was too scared!
    I can imagine you sitting there with your pen held to page like a seisometer (fabulous idea by the way)glancing out of the window every now and then....or he could have and a sore throat hahaha....The finish result is quite unexpected I like how you can see the rythm feels and looks very Pollack like.

    You have interesting ideas Nadine I do like Miss Woolf!

    Enjoy your weekend

  3. I think it's funnt how even if we draw automatically and try not to control what we do, there are always traces that reveal our way of drawing in there.
    Personality in traces belongs to the person, and no matter what the technique is, it always ends up by showing!
    Big kisses, I love to hear from your experiments when travelling by train.

  6. Hi Nadine! I peeked at this drawing last night and then waited to leave a comment until this morning. I love this drawing; how it evolved with the movement of the train and the movement of the line(s) and the meaning under the lines. It's great!! Wouldn't this be interesting silkscreened onto plexiglass? It reminds me of something organic growing in a petri dish. Fun!! *smiles* Norma
    p.s. I was imagining the train rider clearing his throat. Very very funny.

  10. Hi Nadine!
    Thank you for your lovely comments - and so happy to meet you all!
    I can imagine the wry smile on your lips as you created this on your train ride!
    The black lines remind me of some thread drawings and shibori work I've seen recently.
    And I agree with Renilde - very - Japanese!!
    Have a lovely sunday!!
    xx

  12. What a fun ride- I love this idea- at first I thought it was impressionistic in a way- a landscape, a close up...until I read your words and then it made me laugh, how tactile!
