ALT: crayon and ink drawing, abstract sort of landscape. There are something like rolling hills in the background (blue, and purple striped) and maybe the edge of a lake in the foreground (blue-green). Growing up from the edge on the right side of the page are 5 tall skinny things (purple-brownish) like cattails or carrot roots. On the left side of the page, hanging down from the top are 4 things of similar shape but blue-greenish. The sky is orangish, like sunset. I don’t know where this came from, but I was just home from an absolutely lovely several hours of trading songs and stories with local friends at a pub sing and the after-sing gathering. Everything is somehow wound through with music.
ALT: ink and crayon drawing. Weaving and winding black lines, with some pale purples and greens filling in some of the spaces. One way you could look at it, you might see the end of a bone, with some nerve endings (or bare trees, or river tributaries) touching it and nearby. If you see something else, that’s also correct.
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. Colorful abstract wax crayon background, with a black ink drawing on it. It depicts a cartooney bird with a big beak and round eye, wearing a heart shape on its breast. There is some scratchboard work for texture in the legs and feathers. I think the bird’s expression is both wary and hopeful.
ALT: ink drawing. two sweet round little rodents have their backs to us, and face a BIG creature of the same ilk, who has three sharp teeth, crazed eyes and a manic expression. But cute ears. The littles are blue and green; the big one is purple.
ALT: ink drawing. a stylized sun with black and yellow rays shines below a blue roof or sky made of swoopy curves. Some streaks that could be birds spangle the sky-web. The drawing also works with the sun at the top, but this is the orientation I had it while drawing.
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. A humanoid, a dog-like, and a bird or bug-like skeletal beings dance by a river in a field of flowers. There might be flames rising in the distance.
ALT: ink drawing, abstract, but it could be seen as the upper part of a being that seems to be made of bones and fibers. The background color is mostly yellow and rose, hence the title.
ALT: ink doodle. Some kind of blob-shaped critter is holding a flower in its hand and mouth. The critter is yellow with a green stripe, has antennae and a rat tail. The flower is something like a sunflower.
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.
