pulling the string
or, “Miss Dysanthropoid and the Misanthropic Boid” (title from Jeff Colby)
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. One odd being is holding a string connected to a series of perhaps pulleys. Another stands with their arms upraised. A bird watches from above. This is all happening in a thicket of bare trees, and there’s maybe an opening or door up above where the pulleys hang.
sitting standing
ALT: crayon and acrylic. Two figures; the one in the foreground seated, maybe a little uncomfortably; the one behind and to the left, standing but armless and with dog or bird legs. Between them sits the ghost of a cat.
night dance
ALT: crayon drawing. an odd curly blue being is dancing at the edge of a pond under a night sky. could be the song of crickets, now gone silent in the dying summer grass.
roar energy
ALT: crayon drawing. A sort of bug is in the lower right corner, baring teeth and making claw-hands. they have a bumble bee sweater and purple arms and legs, and curly antennae. cuuuute. The rest of the picture is large curls in a sort of fleur de lis shape, pink and purple, with yellow and orange energy lines.
holding a happy place
ALT: crayon drawing. Three figures dance in the foreground. Two little round dwellings, one has a lavender ribbon swirling out and up to the sky where a sun and moon also dance.
one more last one
ALT: crayon drawing. A child eagerly reaches for an ice cream cone that an adult is handing them, although the placement is pretty awkward. I didn’t think I’d get into the studio today, what with preparations for tomorrow’s surgery, but hey! I found an hour so so and that was a treat.
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.
wiggle and shout
ALT: crayon drawing, abstract. A bunch of curly mauve and lilac curly lines, surrounded by some short straight yellowish shout lines. Probably I’ll add some more to this one, if I feel like it.
river of souls
ALT: crayon drawing, abstract. A flowing pink and purple shape, diagonal across the page, with yellow/red streaks, and several glowy yellow/red orbs. A bigger glowing orb at the top right, in light blue ground. On the other side, swirling dark blue and purple.
storm looms
ALT: crayon drawing. two rather meat-colored clouds sit heavily in a dark blue watery sky. Or maybe it’s islands on an ocean. Soft green and pink land in the foreground, with some prickly foliage of imaginary writing spinning across it in pink and green.
