Morning Pages October 2-4

Three more morning pages…

I’m pleased that I’ve been able to keep up with my Morning Practice while traveling (though not just in the mornings.). I’ve never been able to do this much drawing while on the road (and I have other pieces I’m working on besides Morning Pages too). So that’s a win. But damn, I just can’t seem to post one each day! It doesn’t take that long! I’m going to try harder for rest of the trip which is now just four more days.

On Oct 2 I drew shapes inspired by the forms we saw at the Boothbay Botanical Garden. That garden was definitely a highlight of the trip. Beautiful foliage everywhere. When I experience nature, I’m always thinking about how to create abstracted shapes inspired by natural shapes. The quantity and complexity in nature is truly astounding.

On Friday, Oct 3, we went to several coastal areas in Arcadia National Park and the rock cliffs are beautiful. I couldn’t unsee these elephants.

Finally, Oct 4, we got there early (8am) and hiked a gorgeous trail through the Arcadia forest and also some carriage roads. I was back to being dazzled by natural shapes and forms, but the old bridges built of the land’s rock…oh my. I spent a pleasant few minutes drawing this one.
