pulling the string
or, “Miss Dysanthropoid and the Misanthropic Boid” (title from Jeff Colby)
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. One odd being is holding a string connected to a series of perhaps pulleys. Another stands with their arms upraised. A bird watches from above. This is all happening in a thicket of bare trees, and there’s maybe an opening or door up above where the pulleys hang.
houseplant nightlife
ALT: acrylic painting. A big-leafed plant in a whimsical blue and purple pot, against a black background with a big round orange light – moon? lamp?
sitting standing
ALT: crayon and acrylic. Two figures; the one in the foreground seated, maybe a little uncomfortably; the one behind and to the left, standing but armless and with dog or bird legs. Between them sits the ghost of a cat.
night dance
ALT: crayon drawing. an odd curly blue being is dancing at the edge of a pond under a night sky. could be the song of crickets, now gone silent in the dying summer grass.
roar energy
ALT: crayon drawing. A sort of bug is in the lower right corner, baring teeth and making claw-hands. they have a bumble bee sweater and purple arms and legs, and curly antennae. cuuuute. The rest of the picture is large curls in a sort of fleur de lis shape, pink and purple, with yellow and orange energy lines.
holding a happy place
ALT: crayon drawing. Three figures dance in the foreground. Two little round dwellings, one has a lavender ribbon swirling out and up to the sky where a sun and moon also dance.
resurrection
Hey! I had my right hip replaced, so time out from making art. But now I’m limping around again, and could get out to my studio! Hoorah! I spent most of my studio time working on a careful and fussy painting, so for the daily I just blew it out and used up the colors on my palette. No apologies!
ALT: a green being something like a praying mantis but minus one set of legs, and a head a bit more like a frog, eyes and arms uplifted before an aggressive red and purple sky.
one more last one
ALT: crayon drawing. A child eagerly reaches for an ice cream cone that an adult is handing them, although the placement is pretty awkward. I didn’t think I’d get into the studio today, what with preparations for tomorrow’s surgery, but hey! I found an hour so so and that was a treat.
last call
ALT: crayon and acrylic. Some kind of bird, with storky orange legs and bill, blue and purple plumage, tail a bit like a rooster. Abstract green and blue background, to use up the acrylic paint currently on my palette. I’m going for a hip replacement on the 27th, and probably won’t be able to get to my art space for a week or two. So cheers till then.
wiggle and shout
ALT: crayon drawing, abstract. A bunch of curly mauve and lilac curly lines, surrounded by some short straight yellowish shout lines. Probably I’ll add some more to this one, if I feel like it.
