flightbutt

ALT: crayon drawing , the backside of a bird with wide wingspan stretching beyond the paper’s edges, soaring over rolling hills, toward the blue beyond. there are also clouds and a crescent moon.

succession of blooms

ALT: water soluble crayon drawing that shows a purple flower blooming on a long stem, and a pink one enclosed in a green and blue circle, next to a warm, sunny egg of a shape, cradled in green curves. below there’s a horizontal blue strip you could read as water if you wanted to, and a brown shape like a rock or patch of fertile soil.

trick rider

ALT: crayon drawing., sort of abstract expression. it’s a purple horse, with someone standing on it with one foot in the air. background orange and green.

clearing brush

ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon. two angled shapes that look somewhere between arms and boomerangs, face each other on a field of tall grass. maybe they are parting a path through. I spent the earlier part of the evening pruning bushes and moving brush piles, if that helps any with the explanation.

struggle on

ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon, abstract. it’s vaguely body-referential, but contorted and certainly missing parts. graphite line drawing has washes of brown and green for a bit of color.

songs on the wind

ALT: water-soluble crayon, abstract. a number of green curves like flags or ribbons seem to float in a blue sky. there is also a red thread, curved and snarled like an old river, floating through it all.

face

ALT: crayon drawing of a face. nobody in particular. it’s drawn in blues, on an orange background. possibly masculine, big sad eyes looking over your right shoulder.

summer come sit on my head

ALT: crayon drawing. a butterfly with orange and red wings sits on black, bobbed hair of a smiling person who wears something the color of the butterfly’s wings. a green leafy stem fills out the space left on the page.
