nightfall
ALT: crayon drawing. There are two purple figures (stylized) one floating upright in the upper right, one upside down near the ground on the low left. A row of bubbles divides the page from the bottom right to top left. Three crescent moons like bananas tumble from top to bottom. All on a dark ground.
abstract
ALT: crayon drawing with lots of curved and looping lines. Wider ribbons of purple and green, worked over and around by thinner lines of orange, having tighter curves. No meaning intended, probably more like a mood.
sweet small things
ALT: crayon drawing of lilies of the valley – 3 flower stems and 3 leaves, close up on a purple and dark background.
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon drawing of a goofy fox-like critter with enormous ears, a floofy tail, and a grin. sitting under a tree, I guess.
2026 collage #5, still mining that Bosch painting for hands, monsters, and general vibe
ALT: magazine picture collage featuring parts of a Hieronymus Bosch painting, some animals from National Geographic magazine, and a nun oddly raising a knife towards the clouds in a painted sky.
join
ALT: acrylic painting. two stylized purple figures follow each other as if dancing, across an abstracted landscape of blue and green hills, under a red sky with two suns.
stardance
ALT: water soluble crayon, decorative abstract of a person in blue dress dancing between a star and crescent moon, no ground to be seen.
I did not make a drawing this day. Instead I’ll show you what was going on in my workspaces, some days lately I let this be enough to allow a holiday from the dailies.
One more collage emerging, I think this might be the last one for this year. It has quite a way to go, but I do like the nun with flower angel wings and knife upraised into the painted sky. And I’ve mined the backdrop Bosch painting for years, I don’t even remember where I got the original from. The animals are from a National Geographic article about someone documenting endangered wildlife in gorgeous portrait photos.
when I got tired of that I did this:
neither project arrived at a state of completion before I was ready to retire for the evening. hopefully seeing some of the process will enhance your enjoyment of the eventually completed pieces!
2026 collage #4, maybe finished.
ALT: magazine picture collage featuring a reclining nude lady and a resurrected Christ, on a backdrop of stonework and macroscopically photographed jellyfish. It’s very red and brown.
springs
ALT: crayon drawing with a cluster of fiddleheads rising from dead leaves, superimposed on several spiral shapes floating on the page, all the coiled potential energy of the season
