watching, getting inspired.

I have begun watching documentaries. About artists. And I can't believe I haven't discovered this before! It is so interesting and inspiring! Yesterday I started watching a series about aboriginal art and was totally blown away. The wonderful wonderful way they depict their homes. It's so very beautiful, and watching a couple of different artists while working was mesmerizing. Slowly, dot by dot or line by line, every now and then bursting into singing - telling the stories they are painting. I want to know more!

And I doodled a bit with dots, and gave the doodles really pretentious names :)...

oil crayons.

I really do have the worst photosituation at home right now. Half of our lamps have quit working and it's so dark outside basically no light comes in through the windows, and the light we do have come from spots, so it's really difficult getting a more general light without shadows ruining the picture. And of course I don't really know a lot about photography ;).

So, excuses made: here are a few scetches/drawings I made in one of my favorite medias - oil crayons!
