late night diary entry, after a long full day
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon, abstract, calligraphic. a streak of blue swoops downward from top left to bottom right. conversationally descriptive black ink lines loosely define a horizon and hint at people and events. a couple spirals of red acknowledge happy connections and valentines. the entire drawing is loose and open, bordered with edges of yellow.
I am here – holding space
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon, sort of calligraphic abstract. there’s a blue rock on blue ground, with the work “here” written on it. Standing over it to the right is a figure in green and yellow robe and hat, reaching across to the inky tangle that occupies the left side of the page.
meditation bug
ALT: water-soluble crayon and ink. somewhat resembles an insect with wings outspread but legs crossed, either sitting on the ground or hovering above it. i really had nothing more in mind than the determination to fill the page in a short time. and whose soul is not full of locusts at this moment in time?
song for an open day
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon, abstract. cheerful yellows orange and aqua, with calligraphic imaginary writing spinning up one side, and a cluster of spirals on the other. sort of chaotic happy energy.
chameleon
ALT: water-soluble crayon and ink, abstract. it’s mostly green, and if you squint you can vaguely imagine the eye of a lizard in a very close-up portrait.
shield
ALT: crayon and ink. a heron-like bird, looking downward so that body shape appears a compact ovoid. mostly orange background, and spiky blue feathers.
stressful day, shouty meeting
ALT: ink, abstract. orange and black scribble across the page horizontally, on a purple and black cloud, with some blue streaks beneath. above, three marks like exclamation petals thrown, orange and black, in a mist of black specks.
eyes of the storm
ALT: water-soluble crayon, ink. it is a pair of dark eyes set in blue and purple clouds, over a field of green leaves. in reality, there is very little green under the foot of new snow where I live. but the green lives on in slumber.
pas de rage
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon, abstract, calligraphic. on a ground of blue-green wash with orange veins, two figures are scribbled in ink. maybe dancing, maybe marching.
see of green
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon, abstract. watery washes of green tinged with yellow and blue and a little purple, overlaid with a swirling tracery of black lines. I have reached the point in the cold months where I want little respites of getting lost in green.
