        Here are some more drawings that I have been working on in the lat few days. First I wanted to share some inspiration I have been looking at for these drawings. Below are some free association drawings done in charcoal by Georgia O'Keeffe. She would think of a moment in her life or something that related to that moment in time and drew what first came to mind. This first image is based on a kiss. The second image was drawn when she was experiencing a headache. She at the time did not feel up to painting, so she took a piece of charcoal and drew what she was feeling and the pain that she was experiencing. 

Kiss

Headache

        Based on this idea of association drawing I began to do my own drawings based on the memories I have been exploring. There were a few drawings that I included in the previous post and than these images below. I started by thinking about the human body and the interaction between my mother and I at the moments I was referencing. So I began to draw circles that started out representing the heads of my mother and I showing their interaction and the emotion or energy that was present at that particular moment. Below is what the result of that study is. 






        I know this is not completely there yet so I am going to keep completing small drawings and try and figure out what the best image is going to be to represent the memories I am trying to portray. See keep your eye out for new drawings that I will be posting soon!
