I enjoyed creating this drawing because of it's unusual view. I got the idea for this drawing when I was looking down in a moment of personal sadness. For awhile I was ignoring everything. Caught up in my own grief, I was oblivious to everything that was around me. After awhile I sat down on some rocks and looked below the water's surface. First I noticed all the rocks, and then movement caught my eye and a little fish swam by. I couldn't help think that the little fish on the bottom didn't even know that I was there. Just as before I didn't know it was there. We were in two completely different worlds.
I had two false starts with this piece. I tried it with colored pencils and oils but neither really captured what I was after. It came through in black and white.

This is a graphite drawing finished on December 2, 2001. It was created on acid free 110 LB paper.
