Whale archetype surfaced in my abstract art early in 2012, without planning on my part. Over and over comes the whale, surfacing through the dots and lines and dashes of my work. A great peace comes to me as I draw.

The same process has now occurred of late with the banana tree bloom, though I've never thought of this flower as archetypal before typing this paragraph, and I've come to discover the whale and the bloom in my drawings are nearly the same.
