weekend vacation
–I’ve been on the road, traveling and visiting. It was great, but I’m pretty happy to be back home and in my artspace.
ALT: crayon drawing of a cartooney personage striding and waving their hands, stepping out in one direction and looking back in the other. Lots of colors and curved shapes.
wind harvest
ALT: crayon drawing. A stalk of grain silhouetted against a pink/purple sun, over blue and yellow fields. A blue-gray arc slices in from the bottom left, and there’s something that might have started out as a pine tree sort of floating beyond it on the left, I’m really not sure what it’s doing there, or what it’s trying to be.
friends a long time.
I just spent the weekend with three people I’ve been friends with since highschool, so 50 years now. This is not a portrait of us really, it’s more like a tribute.
ALT: crayon and ink drawing showing a group of four women. Just faces and torsos, I didn’t draw any hands. The words “Friends a long time” are written diagonally across the page.
waiting in your garden
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. A spring onion supports a butterfly in the upper left corner; a cartooney rabbit critter casts a wary eye toward a sort of spider. Some random lines of pale green triangles provide a sort of structure for the extra space in the drawing.
flock of arcs
ALT: crayon drawing. A swarm of green fish shapes, seen from above, swim through a series of interlaced circles and arcs. The fish actually started out as leaves, that’s probably why they’re green.
hang the night on a janky scaffold
ALT: ink and graphite drawing, abstract. Some fat dark lines structure the page. There are shapes that could be sky, wires, stars and moon on the upper sections, and scribbly lines below that could be the energy of the town’s streets at night. Color is mostly blue, with yellow highlights.
eight lives
ALT: crayon drawing of a stylized recumbent cat – yellow with blue outlines and a blue star on its back, and crescent moons in its eyes.
methinks I hear an heavenly host
ALT: crayon drawing. Two angel rocks flying (they have wings and halos, otherwise just rocks). A hornet soars above blowing a horn, and faint in the background is something like the archaic angels with no body and about six wings.
reach and hold
ALT: crayon drawing, somewhat abstract. A plant occupies the right side of the drawing, with an orangish rock held in its roots and its leaves lifted toward and overlapping a red rubber ball of a sun.
and the forest fights back
ALT: abstract crayon drawing. There’s some stuff that looks like trees in the upper right corner. A long red shape I think of as a battle dryad has its back to the trees. Some watery stuff in the upper left, and a curve of pink and gold arcs around, pushing back against the dryad, perhaps. Or tell your own story about it.
