winding to center
ALT: ink and watercolor. a ball of red yarn at the bottom right corner, lots of swooping concentric lines with lots of imaginary writing along them, enclose a space that has maybe two people, or maybe it’s just the nose of a cat poking through.
music mind meld
ALT: graphite and watercolor. three faces so close that they are touching each other, the middle one is smiling widely and the other two are enjoying more quietly, and musical staves weave among them. I was fortunate to attend a concert of a trio led by John Zorn this evening. This drawing is not at all portraiture, but a representation of how wonderful it was to watch the communication and precision among the musicians as they produced sometimes gloriously chaotic-sounding noise.
ink island pines
ALT: ink and watercolor, brush painting resembling three pines on a rocky island over purple water and under a purple sky.
cheers
ALT: ink and watercolor doodle of a butterfly with orange wings and a stripey yellow caterpillar-like body, proudly perched on a red and purple flower under blue skies and a big round yellow dish of a sun.
garden pot
ALT: ink and watercolor loose painting of a red planter pot with a couple kinds of houseplant leaves growing out. outside and in front of the pot there are a couple of flowers. my little house is pretty dark, so the houseplants all get to live outside as long as it’s warm enough. some get stuck into the ground, but some just stay in their pots, as these did.
summer selfie
ALT: ink and watercolor, sort of abstract, looks like the heads of two hooded faceless people superimposed on tangles of green and inky gray.
ALT: watercolor and ink, abstract. another tangle, with primary color splotches ground, woven over with black and white ink lines in a rather tangled mess.
the road to 50
ALT: watercolor landscape – a road sweeps past a row of blooming daylilies, toward a line of forest trees.
miss it
ALT: watercolor landscape, round mountains seen over an expanse of sparkling lake, with dark trees leaning in on the right side.
tired – still dancing
ALT: watercolor and water-soluble crayon. sort of expressionist picture of a person with a pretty grim expression waving their arms around.
