2026 collage #5, still mining that Bosch painting for hands, monsters, and general vibe
ALT: magazine picture collage featuring parts of a Hieronymus Bosch painting, some animals from National Geographic magazine, and a nun oddly raising a knife towards the clouds in a painted sky.
ALT: acrylic painting. two stylized purple figures follow each other as if dancing, across an abstracted landscape of blue and green hills, under a red sky with two suns.
ALT: magazine picture collage featuring a reclining nude lady and a resurrected Christ, on a backdrop of stonework and macroscopically photographed jellyfish. It’s very red and brown.
ALT: crayon drawing with a cluster of fiddleheads rising from dead leaves, superimposed on several spiral shapes floating on the page, all the coiled potential energy of the season
ALT: water-soluble graphite and crayon. two stylized figures dance facing each other, arms upraised.
Just came from watching friends of mine Morris dancing down by the closed bridge and the railroad tracks. followed by some singing and storytelling and general socializing to round out the day.
ALT: water-soluble crayon, decorative abstract. two fat spiral shapes lean back to back, purple green and blue with orang-red accents, contrast with brown and black at the edges. pretty swirls, I was thinking of sea cucumbers, shells and such.
ALT: water-soluble graphite and crayon. It’s more or less a gray squirrel, on tippytoes, on a branch, with its tail high up in the air and a very slight smile on its face.
I had spent some time at daybreak on May Day morning watching a squirrel collect branches to build a nest in a maple tree, such wonderfully athletic acrobats.
