Indeed, though I did end up erasing the drawing on my way out. I thought about leaving it, but the washing off of the MassQ is such an important part of the process. So I went with leaving no trace.
Being in my 80s, I'd like to think I have found my path as an artist and am coming near the end of that path. I can't "do art" like I used to, but I find that I must create on a quieter, less stressful level, and that is always satisfying.
I am enjoying and appreciating your insights. they relate to beginnings and endings (or winding downs in my case).
And, of course, I do love watching your MassQing. That's what gives me motivation.
Beautiful, honest, personal and relatable (to artists and those who may not identify as such). Thanks, as always, for sharing your truth.
Thank you Ashe, preciate you!
Spoke to me so deeply from the very first line! Brilliant. Thank you for this. I needed it!
Thanks fam, it’s been great following your journey and story as well!
Funny how much can be done with minimal tools. I bet your drawing came as a surprise and got noticed by many after you left.

I wondered if you "left no trace". I didn't know that washing off the MassQ is part of the ritual. Good luck with the Essex workshop.
Very much needed to read this! Thank you.
No doubt, glad it resonated Shir

Edith, I hope to be more like you when I grow up! So glad you are enjoying the C.S.A. - here’s to more quiet art, we need more of it in today’s world.
