resurrection
Hey! I had my right hip replaced, so time out from making art. But now I’m limping around again, and could get out to my studio! Hoorah! I spent most of my studio time working on a careful and fussy painting, so for the daily I just blew it out and used up the colors on my palette. No apologies!
ALT: a green being something like a praying mantis but minus one set of legs, and a head a bit more like a frog, eyes and arms uplifted before an aggressive red and purple sky.
last call
ALT: crayon and acrylic. Some kind of bird, with storky orange legs and bill, blue and purple plumage, tail a bit like a rooster. Abstract green and blue background, to use up the acrylic paint currently on my palette. I’m going for a hip replacement on the 27th, and probably won’t be able to get to my art space for a week or two. So cheers till then.
I made a sign for tomorrow’s No Kings rally for my daily art today.
ALT: an inflatable tyrannosaurus rex with a huge toothy grin and a little crown on their head is holding a banner saying “no kings but us”. The background is the stars and stripes of the US flag.
webby
ALT: mixed media, abstract. A mycelial mess in paper collage, acrylic, and crayon. Mostly looks like it’s covered in twisty roots, but maybe some tree branches in the upper right corner.
story time
ALT: acrylic painting. Blue background, a sort of jackalope seems to be holiding court while two other personages pay happy attention. One is sort of humanoid, the other is more like a frog or lizard.
deeep
here it is again, now with eel and jellyfish. Not sure I’m interested enough to push this one further, at least for now.
ALT: acrylic painting. watery blue swirls on a black background. there is indeed a jellyfish floating behind a sort of seahorse-merperson, and also an eel sort of thing. Some lines of calligraphic marks that could be imaginary writing or bubbles, and some dots that remind me of markings on shells/
untitled (in progress)
ALT: acrylic painting, blue on black background. spiralling swirls of blue rise upward, there’s a trail of imaginary writing floating bottom to top. There’s some kind of seahorse/merperson creature in the midst of it all. I’m not sure where this will end up, but it’s not finished.
at its foundation there was always the dance
ALT: mixed media (acrylic, ink, crayon), abstract. There is a lot of imaginary writing, in black, gold, and red, drifting in lines across the page in all directions. There is some transparent blue, purple, green light shining through in the spaces between. You could maybe see a pair of stick figure dancing in the black and white lines. They echo the original compositional lines that I laid down when I started this one.
under
ALT: acrylic and crayon. It looks like a grumpy tortoise parked beneath a pile of boulders. Not clear if they’re balanced on its shell, or suspended above it. The whole picture is in various grays, the tortoise thing has some muted yellows that distinguish it from the rocks. And yes, I’m trying to do more than I’m really capable of, and I’m dropping balls, and I don’t like it.
norns
Alt: acrylic and crayon drawing, abstract. You could see three figures passing along a red thread, from spindle to shears. Green on the left, red-orange at center, purple on the right (yes, I was raised in the culture that reads from left to right on the page, and I did not think about that compositional idiom until just now)
