horizons

Yard an Garden

A social weekend away from home and studio; I didn’t try to do any drawing or painting. Instead I finished crocheting a hat for a friend, and joined in on tie-dying some various things. Sometimes it seems more important to spend open time with old friends than to stick to personal and somewhat isolating commitments.

While driving on one of the local backroads I slowed down for a hen who was deciding whether or not to cross the road. I admired her fat pantaloons atop the skinny little legs as she stepped her way back to her yard. Clearly I need to do a little more observation of chickens, but I guess a fast memory dump at the end of a long weekend away will have to do for now!

Playing with felt tip pens, and how the ink spreads and melts with water

who is to say this will not be some future fashion statement.

I got 10 minutes in my studio, between family visits. Almost decided not to take the time and waste a piece of paper, but after so many years of daily practice it felt wrong to skip it. So here is about 5 minutes worth of ink marks on paper for your viewing…pleasure?
