annunciation, Monotype of the Day #327

Learning to use this new ink. It's oil based and much stiffer to work with. I may have to heat it a bit to get the looseness I desire. But for now it's a good exercise in working in a different way. I felt a bit worn out by life tonight. I needed to work to get my head on straight and I did. I am so grateful for every moment I can connect again to my creative flow and be renewed.

This work is paired with by "Optimism" by Jane Hirshfield
