I blame this one on my niece Hayley Greenough, who started posting lovely paintings of jellyfish after a visit to the Monterey Aquarium. She has also done a wonderful series of cat drawings. You should visit her Instagram and take a look! https://www.instagram.com/hayleygreenough.art/
blockade runners.
This evening I had no inspiration and no desire to make a picture. I looked around me and saw a kneaded eraser that reminded me of a fat pigeon, so that’s what I drew. Must not be afraid to be goofy! That is a serious block to creativity. So, recognizing the green bird as a blockade runner, I gave them company – fish usually work for me as something to draw when I have no ideas, and the original Blockade Runner, a princess. Looking at the picture now, I’m seeing the team that opposes the gang of inner critics that kept me from calling myself an artist for most of my life, and even still now. Because really, I am just not serious enough for that title.

Yes, I am still using most of my studio time to tie sticks together with twine.
Here are a few shots of Wrack, apparently approving of my efforts.
What could be more valentiney than a mouse hiding in shrubbery.
Nothing like looking at a scan I’m about to post, to give me a struggle with the rule I’ve made for myself not to engage in self-critique or deprecation on these posts. There are obvious things I see that I would push farther, or should have backed off on, before I would feel good about presenting this to other eyes. But. This is how far I got, and it is just what came up. It was another day, and I went into my studio, and I made some art. That is what it is, and it is enough.
I do like stones.
