Daily Doodle #9: Mosaic Lullaby

Ink on paper. 7" x  5". 11/ 13/ 2013

I started this one at 2 am last night, a little overwhelmed by the project and the realization that if I didn't create something at that time, after a full day of art, carpentry, time with kids, friends, and family, there would be no doodle today. I'm pretty sure that if I slipping a day will quickly turn this itno the Daily "or you know, when I feel like it" Doodle Project.

I started with a line of silver, and then riffed with the mosiac idea -the white of the paper as the compositional grout holding it all together.
