What's Below the Surface

I used to say that when I drew and was completely in the zone, that for me it wasn't that I was adding pencil to paper but scraping the paper off for you to see the image below. Recently, I found a quote by Michelangelo, when asked when he knew when to stop carving the stone and he replied when he hit skin. I look forward to summer break when there are no more distractions to stop me from diving into that again. I miss that feeling. When everything melts away and I can see clearer.
