reaching pine
ALT: watercolor painting of a dark pine tree with branches and needles tending upwards, with a quietly dramatic sky that echoes the motion of the tree.

Moody lake vista.
I am back from vacation, but need to spend the next couple of days catching up with work. So for now I will just post the first of my vacation week arts, and will fill in the rest over the next couple of days.
ALT: ink painting, landscape. Dark, almost black hill silhouetted against stormy looking clouds and water that is raked with patterns representing ripples that didn’t come out nearly the way I wish they had. Still. I like that it’s stark bands of dark and light, and the way the ink behaved to represent clouds is pretty satisfying to me.

portal to the rabbitat
ALT: ink and crayon drawing. Some kind of being with arms upraised is stepping through a flamboyantly decorated arch, onto a field where five white rabbits sit and vaguely pay attention.

floating sun
ALT: ink drawing, a big fat yellow sun with a red spiral on it sits half above the horizon line. Below is its reflection or continuation, in watery ripples .

bubble dragon
ALT: ink drawing in vibrant yellows, oranges and blues, of something that could be a seahorse hybrid, but with legs and a sort of puppydog face. there are wavy vertical lines at its back that could be kelp, and many orange-rimmed bubbles in the open water that it faces.

summer dragon
ALT: ink drawing, lots of bright colors (orange, yellow, green, and blue). It’s the neck and head of something that looks like a seahorse maybe combined with a serpent. It has a sort of fiery mane and crown as well.

the Guardian, one more time. I’m posting the first two versions below the ALT text, as well as the original National Geographic photo, just to have them all in one place.
ALT: crayon drawing referencing that same photo of the elephant poacher guard leaning on a spear. It is pretty much completely abstracted in this version, with the gold robe, green and reddish ground, and a purple arc of sky. Below are the original photo reference, and the two previous drawing interpretations I’ve posted.

yet tyranny looms
ALT: a very scribbly crayon and ink drawing, with black, red and white snarly tangles on a pastel blue and gold background. the aggregate shape is somewhat of an echo of yesterday’s tyrannosaurus rex, without the flag or the goofy charm.

No Kings since 1776
ALT: ink sketch of a t-rex wearing a crown and holding a US flag with a background that suggests a rally like the one we just had on the Brattleboro town commons.
