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.

way past my bedtime
ALT: abstract crayon and acrylic painting. There’s a blue ground that looks watery, then some kind of blue arc in what would be the ‘sky’, with sunset orange above that. Set in the ‘water’ is a purple structure of some kind, angular and open, more like a scaffold than a building. In front of that are black lines and shapes, that look a little more organic but still a scaffold of sorts. and some webs and spirals of thinner black lines traced around and through. One spot of yellow-orange peeks through from behind the purple. it really was late, and I really had no big ideas about images, just putting feelings into lines and colors.

ALT: ink and acrylic drawing that resembles a brick wall with blue windows, black streaks that could be structure or shadow, and a lacing of white lines that could be strings like clothesline tied to several points and stretching across it all.

in praise of the dawn chorus
ALT text: acrylic painting mostly in blues, with two black birds facing each other. the backdrop is like grass and reeds and seedpods, kind of swirling and interweaving like birdsongs.

I’ve started using alt-text on Bluesky when I post, and I might as well include those descriptions here:
acrylic painting in mostly blues and purples with black and white lines depicting a personage with wavy hair updo, scowling and standing by a tree. They might be holding a scalp, or that might be another spectral personage seen from behind, with the same wavy hair hanging down instead of standing up. or maybe it’s the spirit of the tree.

Just playing with collage and paint. There’s a deconstructed house in there, another tracing for a painting by George Thomas. And many paper scraps that are leftovers of the collage party. I don’t seem to have the mind to make more coherent pictures at the moment, so spritzings from my moods will have to do.
