I was an April baby, and I really feel the coming-to-life of the spring. Happy Equinox, everyone, celebrate the half of the year when there’s more daylight than dark! Even though we’re just getting another blast of cold and snow where I live, the stirrings are in the air and everywhere.
rest and refuge, in order to recharge
Yesterday’s composition revisited. I kinda like this one; maybe I’ll make a painting.
Sometimes you can tell when I didn’t want to spend much time on the daily art, when it’s a fast ink gesture like this one.
I am spending more time figuring out how to finish and frame some of my collages, so giving shorter shrift to the drawing table.
I am choosing to occasionally take a day off – an option I didn’t allow myself for years when I started this project. Really, I am again trying to make more time to tackle bigger projects and finish up other ones. The collages are still out on my worktable; I am figuring out ways of framing them up to display at the Harmony Collective gallery in the next month or two.
Just so you can have a picture, here’s a little mockup that I thought might make a nice little t-shirt or something, with some cats I painted last year.
I am still struggling with adjusting to the clock change (don’t get me started ranting about how stupid the twice-annual imposed ritual is!). I went to a lovely pub sing, far out in the Massachusetts hilltowns after work this day, and had a sweet visit with some old friends who used to be closer neighbors before I moved to Vermont. I got back home at nearly 11:00 New Time, and rather than check in to the studio, decided to go straight to bed in hopes of readjusting my personal clock toward getting up earlier in the morning. It sort of worked, I’ll try again tonight.

smooshed rocks.
Just fyi, all my daily art is on 9″ x 12″ stonehenge paper. I settled on that as a manageable size and sufficiently versatile weight and texture of paper, years ago. So that’s one variable off the table when I sit down to play.
