Sketch for Scat by Kirsten Borror 2012 Ink on Paper 5x5 |
The scat fish starts its life in fresh water and as it matures it will enter the ocean. I've spent some time drawing the fish that were most interesting to me. Taking time to map out the shapes, lines and shadows is like doing an outline for a paper because it gives a general idea of where I want to go with the painting. Sometimes we get a chance to do outlines in life and in some things we don't. I'm in the middle of something I've not experienced before and was not expecting, so I'm doing my best to sketch out what it is while being in the midst. Lord, give me eyes to see, ears to hear, faith to believe that You will sketch out this circumstance with me. And that You have my best interest in mind.
