Today I was having a hard time focusing on what to do art wise. My mind was too full of ideas – movie scripts, poetry, sculptures- all floating around not letting me concentrate on any one idea without the others clamoring for my attention. The wind whipping around and blowing things around on my porch is certainly not helping the concentration either.

In spite of this I did get some ideas down for an image to go with my most recent poem. I tried incorporating some of the visual elements into the artwork.

I also just had some fun drawing random geometric doodles and making it into a filtered light piece. There is something meditative in doodling for me. I don’t usually like them all that much when finished so rarely share them, but the filtered light version seems more presentable. It softens my blunders and makes it look pretty finished.

What do you do when you have trouble focusing your mind?
