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.

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.
