pilings
ALT: four stout but somewhat bent and leaning posts stick up out of water. A stream of spots float on the water like petals and then up into the sky to disappear in the clouds.

a moment of pointed serenity

It’s spring and all, but also I recently heard that someone in my pub-sing community is very ill, and he has a humorous song about rabbits that he occasionally trots out. He’s been on my mind and maybe it’s showing.
ALT: water-soluble crayon and graphite drawing of a rabbit among leaves and grasses, looking poised to take off. There’s something that could be a stone or an egg sitting right behind it.

peepers heard from afar
ALT: crayon drawing with vertical green and blue streaks, some darker green vertical lines with something like scrubby pine needle or birchbark cross-hatching. Black spiky branches in front of all that.

centaur
ALT: pencil and crayon drawing. A rather abstracted creature in while lines has a horse’s hind end and rather humanoid front half. The ground is green below, blue above, and pretty fiery red and gold between. On top of it all is a five-sided angular glyph that could be read as arrow-like if you’re thinking Sagittarius.

I did not get to my studio today because preparing and hosting the opening reception for my little show, which was lovely. I did get to practice flower arranging.
I submit Proof of Cake
and also proof of Kate, with Rose Watson, my Harmony Collective cake fairy
here are some pictures of the art I’m showing. It’s all from before my daily art practice, the late ’80s to the ’90’s. It has mostly lived in folders in drawers since then.

a prayer for sweet sleep

a prickly sun
ALT: watercolor drawing of a round orange sun above, with rays sticking out not in a geometrically regular pattern. There’s a shell-like spiral below in colors that echo the sun, and in between are sort of floaty pale green and purple lines drifting around like ribbons in a breeze.

what you see – what you know
ALT: acrylic painting. Green background with wide wavy streaks of darker green. Overlaid with blue-gray circles that each have sort of glyphs in them, some eyes, lip-shapes, spiderweb, spiral, etc. Winding through all are streaks of red. there’s one quite prominent eye i the bottom left corner.
