the last cricket songs
ALT: ink drawing, with two critters that really don’t look anything like real world crickets, that have bug-like shapes and rather human faces. they seem balanced on whorls around three little circles that could be pebbles or just energy nexus points.
larval form
ALT: ink and crayon. abstract. it does look to me like a closeup of a caterpillar, proudly rearing its front end and displaying its fuzzy bits. or like a fat thumb upraised, stuck with lots of quills. brown and green colors, with the black ink.
milkweed after frost
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon. sort of abstract, but looks like a milkweed pod diagonally across the page, open a bit with some seeds floating out, and some other frost-blackened leaves around it.
sing no king
ALT: crayon drawing, two figures singing joyfully under a half-moon, with a green plant shooting up in front of them. it’s not very carefully rendered; I was exhausted.
quest
ALT: ink doodle of a horse-like being leaning on a staff and looking out toward a mountainous horizon
changing
ALT: graphite and watercolor. I line of bare trees on a horizon, with blue and purple washed behind, and horizontal stripes of fall and summer colors below.
catch the last bit of summer
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon, abstract. smoothly arching lines downward and wispily curling upward, lots of yellow, gold, and spring green.
portal to the feast
This post marks the start of I think my 17th year of daily drawings.
ALT: ink and crayon. a being stands, open arms, on a dark road leading to a warmly lit interior space
still
ALT: water soluble graphite and watercolor, abstract. quiet, vertically oriented looping skein of grey-black lines, bounded on either side with soft blue and purple.
nightcap
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon and watercolor. abstract, lots of grey, blue-green and purple. there’s sort of a tassel thing hanging down on the left side, that reminds me of a stocking cap, and also it was really late for me and I was tired hence the title.
