night show – now in full color
I finished my coloring page from 8/20
ALT:
ink and crayon. several little stylized quadrupeds trotting around, a couple of them seem to be conversing with a sort of bat. there are stars in the sky, and something like a sun is on the ground, or in water or something. an arc that could be stage lights runs across the middle of the page. line drawing on 8/20 post, if you want to put in your own colors.
shadow bouquet
ALT: crayon drawing. a couple of wispy blue-purple flowers on wiggly stems, with some golden dots floating around
Cat Demands Attention
ALT: ink and crayon doodle. a yowling cat paws at a very messy expressionistic head/neck in purple and ink, their hair flying up in surprise
cheers
ALT: ink and watercolor doodle of a butterfly with orange wings and a stripey yellow caterpillar-like body, proudly perched on a red and purple flower under blue skies and a big round yellow dish of a sun.
sleepytime
ALT: crayon drawing of a green stripey cat sleeping on a fuschia-colored cushion. there are a bunch of circles floating above, instead of cartoon “z’s”
putt me in the zoo
ALT: crayon drawing of a yellow quadruped with red and green spots, tongue sticking out and a red balloon floating next to them. The very first book I remember reading all by myself was Robert Lopshire’s “Put Me In The Zoo”. I was very proud that I could follow the story, and say all the words. But I was puzzled by this recurring word, which I pronounced “putt”. When it was explained to me, I was aggrieved by the illogic of spelling the english language.
night show
ALT: coloring page, ink. several little stylized quadrupeds trotting around, a couple of them seem to be conversing with a sort of bat. there are stars in the sky, and something like a sun is on the ground, or in water or something. an arc that could be stage lights runs across the middle of the page. how it ends up probably depends on how you color it in.
garden pot
ALT: ink and watercolor loose painting of a red planter pot with a couple kinds of houseplant leaves growing out. outside and in front of the pot there are a couple of flowers. my little house is pretty dark, so the houseplants all get to live outside as long as it’s warm enough. some get stuck into the ground, but some just stay in their pots, as these did.
summer selfie
ALT: ink and watercolor, sort of abstract, looks like the heads of two hooded faceless people superimposed on tangles of green and inky gray.
the fenceline
ALT: ink and crayon drawing, pretty abstract, tangled and thorny vegetation on a dark grey background. Just before my studio time, I was indeed fighting back the trees and weeds threatening to take over my little gardens on the line between my house and my neighbors.
