Sea Foam

My first circle drawing (aka "OCD drawings") is still unfinished, but constantly transforming.  Because it is ball point pen, not inky Micron like my Clouds, i've been able to play around with pressure.  I've come to another bit of an impasse with it, although hopefully i can work through it.  I've found that in the process of doing this first drawing, i've discovered ideas for variations to do in the future.  The inspiration for this was sea foam, which has subsequently been its working title, but while working on it i have since become excited about doing a mountains series.  I'd like to evoke a misty landscape and give a sense of depth by using two colors and varying the pen pressure or circle size to create atmospheric perspective.

Maybe the real value of Sea Foam is that it will never be finished or "good," but rather a window into future projects.
