I had the fear in me and so I danced
ALT: abstract acrylic painting, black lines with white highlights on a mostly red ground, looks like bare branches and maybe rib bones and horns? a lot of upward-swooping energy

I’m in a bit of a prickly funk
ALT: acrylic painting, abstract expressionist I guess, a sad-looking face peers back from within a corona of pink and red spikes and darts.

I think it’s finished now.
below are the two previous posted versions
ALT: pop art tabby cat, copper with blue stripes and a white bib, two large floating flower blossoms, and a butterfly. The version directly below it has the colors but now shading, and the original post on 3/21/24 was a black and white line drawing.

sproing
ALT: close-up of a pale green shoot withe scrawly dark green marks climbing all over it. The two long leaves seem to be droopy as if not enough water lately but they’re still very green and would revive. Dirt below, and behind is yellow and pale blue circle of light. The right edge of the page is night-black, but we have entered the light half of the year so it’s no longer dominant.

Originally posted for 3/19/25, now with colors. This may not be quite done, but it’s more done than it was. You can go back to the original post, print it out, and add your own colors if you wish.
ALT: The line drawing of a tree by a stream from 3/19/25, now with watercolors added. So, sunset yellows and reds in the sky, pink flower blossoms, blue stream with yellow splashes, purple hills, and the tree is shadowy purples and reddish browns. One trailing branch, which is kind of weird, and the big root up front really looks like a foot or a toe.

Not a new art, I first posted this one a year ago (3/21/24) but finally getting around to putting more colors on it. Still not done, but it’s what I did with my art time this day.
ALT: stylized painting of a tabby cat (copper with blue stripes) with two large flower blossoms and a butterfly. Kind of a pop art esthetic. Lots of blue, yellow and green.

ring around the rosy (we all fall down)
ALT: acrylic painting in blues, orange and pinkish purple. a rose dead center, and some pretty chaotic looking personages around it facing all directions some smiling, some looking rather anxious

joyful vernal equinox to all. the daylight hours now outnumber the dark ones. may it be so in all our lives.
ALT: very slapdash acrylic painting of a large flower bud on a stem, with little shine marks over it, and a phalanx of sprouting seeds swarming toward it, I have to say a bit like sperms to an ovum.

the looming inevitable
Watching the descent of the US government into authoritarian oligarchy reminds me of the way I felt in January and February of 2020, watching the pandemic make its way to our shores while people who were in a position to take useful action instead were dismissive of the people who had information and experience. It’s horrifying.
ALT: ink brush painting of a breaking wave preceding what might be a massive wall of ocean. The colors are gray, yellow, reddish and purple. It didn’t come out looking as ominous as I was feeling it to be, but there are three little pips right under the curling breaker, and a few more surfing over the top of it.

hope springs
ALT: ink line drawing of a tree with no leaves, sun and moon shining behind it and a blue stream curling around its base. Two little flowers in the foreground.
