garden pot
ALT: ink and watercolor loose painting of a red planter pot with a couple kinds of houseplant leaves growing out. outside and in front of the pot there are a couple of flowers. my little house is pretty dark, so the houseplants all get to live outside as long as it’s warm enough. some get stuck into the ground, but some just stay in their pots, as these did.

the fenceline
ALT: ink and crayon drawing, pretty abstract, tangled and thorny vegetation on a dark grey background. Just before my studio time, I was indeed fighting back the trees and weeds threatening to take over my little gardens on the line between my house and my neighbors.

eyes closed
ALT: crayon, ink, acrylic. this was literally a memory of what I saw with eyes closed, the network of little veins. the colors aren’t as bright as I wanted, but it was dark shot through with red and orange, with bright blue-green in the between spaces.

bookkeeping day
ALT: crayon, ink and acrylic paint, abstract but full of numbers. and some moths, and dots. angular wide black lines weave through a thicket of numerals, mostly in shades of green. I had a long day, full of numbers.

snarl
ALT: water soluble graphite and crayon, abstract. three blue marbles nestled in a tangle of black lines, a red ribbon, and gold and green shading. sort of an organic looking mess.
