night beats

ALT: water soluble crayon, abstract. Crescent moon shape on a blue ground. superimposed are a series of black curved lines descending, like ribs or claws, and a series of red sticks not quite matching up to the pointed ends of the curves. I spent the evening at a concert by EMEFE, a NYC band featuring a boss horn section and many playfully interlaced rhythms.

looking for lake

what we keep, and what we cannot

ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon. a coiled nest of brambles, and a line of 5 winged red shapes below, within, and escaping into the clear air above. just learned of an old friend gone into hospice, and at my age I guess I’d better start getting used to hearing this kind of news. sigh.

flightbutt

succession of blooms

ALT: water soluble crayon drawing that shows a purple flower blooming on a long stem, and a pink one enclosed in a green and blue circle, next to a warm, sunny egg of a shape, cradled in green curves. below there’s a horizontal blue strip you could read as water if you wanted to, and a brown shape like a rock or patch of fertile soil.

trick rider

ALT: crayon drawing., sort of abstract expression. it’s a purple horse, with someone standing on it with one foot in the air. background orange and green.
