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)
tubby stickleback bird
ALT: acrylic and crayon drawing featuring a red bird-like creature, as described in the caption. It has some blue feather details, and a very large eyeball.
cat quarters
ALT: acrylic painting. Four cats, three of them stencils and one the stencil template, positioned roughly in a square, with lots of spirals and dots and action lines around them.
birthday blues
ALT: acrylic painting of an orange vase with a sad face on it, holding some wilting flowers that seem to have already shed some petals. The background has a light blue orb, I have no idea what that’s about, maybe a window or clear open space. Around the bottom, left, and top edges is a bunch of calligraphic writing in an imaginary alphabet.
free of the thicket
ALT: acrylic painting, abstract sort-of landscape. The sky and ground layer of the painting is a warm reddish yellow. There’s tangled foliage, dense on the lower left side, somewhat more open in the right, with something vertical growing up, I guess it could be tree trunks. The upper left corner is above all the tangle, and there are two red birds flying up there.
walking through the garden
ALT: Watercolor background which is mostly an exploration of textures and colors, green foliage, blue and purple shadows, yellow and orange flowers. It’s kind of a bit of lawn with maybe a hedge above and drifts of blooms from the right side. On that ground, as if in a different reality, there are 3 odd calligraphic stick figures, apparently a couple and one more trailing behind. The garden just wanted to be inhabited, I thought.
pilings
ALT: four stout but somewhat bent and leaning posts stick up out of water. A stream of spots float on the water like petals and then up into the sky to disappear in the clouds.
what you see – what you know
ALT: acrylic painting. Green background with wide wavy streaks of darker green. Overlaid with blue-gray circles that each have sort of glyphs in them, some eyes, lip-shapes, spiderweb, spiral, etc. Winding through all are streaks of red. there’s one quite prominent eye i the bottom left corner.
icarus
ALT: acrylic painting all in shades of blue, you can see a wing and a leg and some streaky stuff that might be the wind going past
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
