STRIKING A BALANCE
Going Towards Balance - © Sue O'Kieffe 2009
She liked the idea of striking a balance, but found she sometimes liked the tension that asymmetry created. How about you?

absolutely.
does this truly represent balance?
@RDRRain23 - what do you think?
@DancingSun - i don't think so. i mean, it could, but i just don't see it.
@RDRRain23 - it's not really about being in balance
@DancingSun - so what IS it about?
@RDRRain23 - what do you see? don't you love people who answer questions with questions?
i see a bold strong head at the top, held up by stable pieces divided by a line which seperates the baggage being carried.
oh you know ME, sue ;)
your doodles are really cool. i actually think you might get away with publishing a book of them. like...a coffee table book, perhaps. and it might sell more than ten copies.
@RDRRain23 - heheh...you said baggage.
@RDRRain23 - abstract art is good for multiple interpretations.i like yours. when i drew it i was really wanting more balance in my life (the line), but when i was done drawing i saw that it wasn't really symmetrical at all. my mandalas are balanced.
@complicatedlight - my doodles started from a place of wanting to get away from the computer and have taken on a life of their own. i like them, too. Alot. So, would you buy a book of my doodles?
if i bought a book of doodles, i'd buy yours. how's that?
I anthropomorphize a lot of things, and it looks like the rightmost small circle above the line is a wee person's head and some of the stuff below is it trying to hold itself up over the line
. It's cute and energetic and I like it.
I really enjoy these drawings.
@complicatedlight - sounds good to me. have you ever considered publishing your greeley stories?
@BoureeMusique - the truth for me, alot of it is, how much pleasure i receive just from drawing certain lines and shapes. the curliques are especially fun!
@DancingSun - yeah, i see the balance in all of the mandalas, but i just wasn't so sure about this. i like this because it's different. keep it up.
i get the asymmetry thing, what's the fuss over here? ; )
in fact, i dig a doodle book by suelea also. i would buy your book of doodles in a flash, the more asymmetrical the better.
@be_the_rain - no fuss on my side. good conversation i thought.
@be_the_rain - i had another friend tell me she feels most in balance when she is a little asymmetrical. i like that concept :)
@DancingSun - yes. me too. and it's a good thing i do.
how's your weather out there - - - i know it's got to be gorgeous. it was 104 here today and i was sitting at the train station (waiting on a train as a matter of fact) when out of all the hot, sticky stillness of sunbeat air came a wind that had to be 40 mph. it was like a god~send. then as abruptly, it ended. got home later and within minutes came this hail about marble~size and covered the courtyard, clinking maybe banging against our glassed kitchen backdoor.
so, that's the weather report from Big D.
@be_the_rain - i bet it's humid in big D too. on the ncoast it has been warmish the past couple of days, sunny, no wind...which means it feels hot cuz of the high humidity. if it were 104 and no wind, it would be tough. but we have a lot of fog in the summer. im sure it will be foggy today because its been so sunny the past couple. thats our pattern.
I think that's why my very symetical goddess beads look so good with an asymetical spiral stamped into them.
@sari0009 - me too
