Doodles in a Sketch Book

"Seasons of the Soul" originated as doodles in a sketch book of mine many years ago. And they may have remained just random little doodles if I had not picked up the book after a year or so and as I flipped through the pages I noticed the figures seemed to be telling a story.

At that time there were only ten figures and I realized there needed to be at least one more figure to complete the process. I later came up with descriptive titles for each of the figures to help convey the feelings associated with each figure. From left to right, they are "confusion", "resistance", "submission", "aquiescence", "the plunge", "rebirth", "fortitude", "elation", "symmetry", "harmony", and "movin' out".
It took some time before the final figure, "Movin' Out" came to me in a flash as I was watching an episode of the old television
series, "Fame" and Debbie Allen was dancing her frustrations away in an empty dance studio. When she struck that pose as
she moved across the floor, I knew that was the answer I was looking for.
