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

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.

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.
