Day 3- Lost hands-

Things are changing. The air is warmer. The sky clear.

And I spent the day in the studio.

Happily.

For day three, again from the New York Times, I picked an article :'...conflict...now includes the names on street signs'

and a little note on the calendar:'for hand in hand ,... a group supporting cooperative Arab-Israeli public schools ...'

I realised that I was intuitively attracted to articles about conflict and resolution, even if real resolution was still a very remote possiblility.

Will these drawings always be about conflict?

Am I picking these because the newspaper is about conflict and resolution?

What would happen if I spent a week reflecting on a newspaper written in a language that would be impossible for me to understand , for instance a Japanese newspaper? would I be able to 'feel' something about the content just from the sense of order iin the writing and the disruption of the flow?

I think this sounds like fun and it will be part of this

project. I just have to find a source for foreign newspapers

Three small watercolors were the result of today's work for the project

after the initial drawing.

The ideas of conflict-resolution here

developed into the theme of 'lost hands' which I think I could work with over and over again.

Hugs-
