I have returned to my studio and my scanner. This was drawn in the mostly-dark, at the Stone Church in Brattleboro, before the Sam Amidon/Marc Ribot concert I was fortunate to attend. I might get around to doing a little more work on this one.
My angels are often anatomically like insects, in that they have 6 appendages plus wings. Why not.
I did manage to keep up my daily practice while away; as I have time, I’ll add posts for those dates.
packing and travel anxiety.
I’m going on a week-long trip, which will be a lot of fun and family, but I don’t really like leaving my home base and will be very happy to return! in the meantime, daily posts won’t be happening. I look forward to resuming, once we get to the other side of the trip!

I spent my studio time today starting to color in a Year Wheel for my next journal/planner book. It’s fitting, as I developed this for a workshop that happened on this coming weekend in 2017.
Below is a downloadable file if you want to color your own Year Wheel.
You can also go to my Etsy shop to get a print of the original, full color version, or give me a couple of bucks for the coloring page
look what the ink pulled out of my brain tonight.
My scanner doesn’t handle reds and oranges very well I guess. I like the colors on the original better than what’s showing up here, but didn’t take the time to fix the scan levels. Oh well, here it is anyway.
This reminded me of a game from childhood we called “Dancing in the Moonlight”. It was a sort of tag, and you had to play at night in a place with light and shadows. We innocent creatures would waltz about as far from the safe home base as we dared, singing “dahncing in the moooonlight”. Then suddenly a monster would leap from the shadows and catch as many as they could before we could get back safe home. I don’t think there was really any more to it than that, but somehow that was enough.
oh my eyes and whiskers
