They say that using your non-dominant hand engages both hemispheres of your brain.  Increasing creativity and building healthier brain.  I can't say I feel anymore creative.  In fact, I often feel tired.  But I am getting a lot more comfortable with using my right hand.  My handwriting has progressed from that of a 5 year old to that of a 6 year old.  I'm doing better with drawing though shading and control are still challenging.  I have to really focus in a way I haven't had to do in a long time. That's probably a good thing though.  Forcing me to pay more attention to what I see and how I recreate it. The lack of control has created a bit of new style (see the elephants below) too.

This weekend was the first time I felt ready to paint.  I'm eager to carve out a little time and see what happens.  I'll keep you posted.

As I was preparing for my photo show, my sister recommended that I take look at the work of Saul Leiter.  Wow!  I loved it instantly and can't help noticing how much we are attracted to similar images.

I'm eager to learn more about him and his work.  Here are a few I've found so far.

To see more work from Saul Leiter, you can go to his portfolio on In-Public.

I have a new showing this March and April at Ancora Coffee on University Avenue. Some photography this time.  I'm still one-handed so a group of friends pitched in and helped me set up. 

Ancora has the best coffee in town,so stop by and grab a cup and check out my photos if you're in town.
