I saw this arresting image, which reminded me of what the Water Protectors in North Dakota are doing now, to prevent a pipeline from being built under the Missouri River. Sometimes human beings need to put our bodies and lives on the line to protect other beings from destruction by our own kind.
Looking up the source of this photo led me to discover that there is a Global Non-Violent Action Database, apparently based at Swarthmore. This is the kind of information that helps me feel I’m not alone, there’s good work to do and many people doing it with great bravery.

I spent this long weekend at EarthSpirit Community’s Twilight Covening. This is the gathering that inspired me in 2009 to begin the practice of making a drawing every day. So that’s seven years of drawings now, what an auspicious number!

another evening in a pub after a long meeting, no studio time so you get a glorified sketch.
I don’t draw people from observation much. Though I was looking at specific people as I drew this, I wouldn’t call them portraits, I’m not good enough at making likenesses. But I find it informative to observe details that can later take shape in imagination.

I will not admit to using anyone in particular as models for these inveterate chantey singers

I went out to a pub sing with a friend, so didn’t have any studio time. I made some sketches of people I saw, but this isn’t one of them. Maybe it’s just the inner me, out on the town.
