Tao Te Ching

I spent the whole day in the studio working on a new piece.
I am doing my primary drawings in chalk first. It feels easier and less scary to make mistakes because I can erase them with a wet sponge.
Later I do erase the chalk and work on the remaining lines with permanent oil sticks.

I am not sure if I have mentioned it before, but I am integrating into the blackboard series poems/ wisdom from the Tao Te Ching.
In every painting I am adding a short pearl of wisdom from the writing of Lao Tse.
It is a book that had been a good comforter and guide in my life and I enjoy sharing it now in my art.
It also helps that Lao Tse lived in the 6th century, so all copyrights have expired by now a thousand times over.
