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.
domestic harmony
ALT: crayon drawing. a rough cup or vase, maybe wrapped or bound round with string, very stylized perhaps heads of two people together, over the edge of the cup, perhaps embracing. encircled by a red curve.
beware rabbit
ALT: crayon doodle of a purple bunny with somewhat crazy eyes and possibly a suspiciously pointed tooth showing out the side of their smile
sending star
ALT: crayon drawing of a personage in purple, arms uplifted below a 5-pointed rainbow colored star. The star has a rainbow trail set in yellow glow that swoops down to engulf the person. Or maybe it swoops upward.
cower
ALT: water soluble graphite, crayon. doodle of a small purple being with big eye looking anxiously up at a bare tree that seems to loom over it.
Does anyone remember those little round Springbok puzzles from the early ’70’s maybe? with cheerful pop art and often odd beings and flowers? I think they permanently imprinted on my aesthetic sense.
ALT: decorative drawing in ink and crayon, some swirly lines surrounded by little flowers.
fish fight
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon drawing where a golden eel and a blue fish circle round each other warily. the fish’s tail is kicking up some sand, and there’s a plant that the eel is weaving around. the sand is purple, in case that matters to you.
hearts entwined
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon. loose sketch of three people standing, apparently holding each other by the little red valentine heart
mad mouse
ALT: crayon doodle of something that looks like a blue mouse wearing maybe a helmet and goggles, bearing a dainty flower in its mouth, and maybe sitting on a bongo board or something.
