ALT: ink painting. A gray mountain under a dark purple-blue sky with polkadot stars. And also one big yellow poorly drawn star and a round yellow and red thing that I guess could be a moon. For some reason there’s a sort of vase on top of the mountain, empty but with a coupld of flowers drawn on it that are shedding petals. Under the mountain sits a creature with antennas and claws and snake-like eyes. It’s grasping a thing that looks like an old rooftop antenna. there are a bunch of little red triangles floating around it. I don’t know, that’s just how it came out.
ALT – ink painting of two bulbous roots with faces that look sleepy or surly. The one in front also has a hand for some reason, and it’s reaching toward a mushroom. Both of the plant folk have leaves coming up out of their heads like plumes of hair. There’s a blue and gray sky above, and they’re imbedded in earth that has scribbles in it that I guess stand in for the compost and other dirt critters.
ALT: acrylic painting of an orange vase with a sad face on it, holding some wilting flowers that seem to have already shed some petals. The background has a light blue orb, I have no idea what that’s about, maybe a window or clear open space. Around the bottom, left, and top edges is a bunch of calligraphic writing in an imaginary alphabet.
ALT: sort of Thurber-esque ink painting of a wizard going someplace accompanied by a cat at his feet and a flying owl. A crescent moon and a single star overhead. The wizard is of course identifiable by his pointy hat, blue robes, and flowing beard. And red socks.
ALT: acrylic painting, abstract sort-of landscape. The sky and ground layer of the painting is a warm reddish yellow. There’s tangled foliage, dense on the lower left side, somewhat more open in the right, with something vertical growing up, I guess it could be tree trunks. The upper left corner is above all the tangle, and there are two red birds flying up there.
ALT: Watercolor background which is mostly an exploration of textures and colors, green foliage, blue and purple shadows, yellow and orange flowers. It’s kind of a bit of lawn with maybe a hedge above and drifts of blooms from the right side. On that ground, as if in a different reality, there are 3 odd calligraphic stick figures, apparently a couple and one more trailing behind. The garden just wanted to be inhabited, I thought.
ALT: four stout but somewhat bent and leaning posts stick up out of water. A stream of spots float on the water like petals and then up into the sky to disappear in the clouds.
ALT: ink and crayon drawing. Three chicory-blue flowers with pointy petals stand in a group among stems and leaves. There’s a little snail on a leaf. The background is plain washes of pale peach and blues.
It’s spring and all, but also I recently heard that someone in my pub-sing community is very ill, and he has a humorous song about rabbits that he occasionally trots out. He’s been on my mind and maybe it’s showing.
ALT: water-soluble crayon and graphite drawing of a rabbit among leaves and grasses, looking poised to take off. There’s something that could be a stone or an egg sitting right behind it.
ALT: crayon drawing with vertical green and blue streaks, some darker green vertical lines with something like scrubby pine needle or birchbark cross-hatching. Black spiky branches in front of all that.
