sky castle (detail)
ALT: water soluble crayon and ink, in the colors of chicory and daylilies. It looks like windows in an apartment building, sort of. The middle window has some plants in it. There’s a big arched window on the left, that has little stars or sparkles in it, and another smaller one on the top right with what could be wrought iron fancywork.
high summer
in response to my friend Jeff’s suggestion that “calligraphic chicory-monster-syllabary rain” might be forthcoming. But no monsters, at least in this one. Maybe they’re hiding in the foliage.

gyroscape
ALT: crayon and watercolor, in soft blues and red/pinks. The drawing is vertically oriented, with something like water on the lower part, but the upper part seems to be a lake-and-hill landscape, oriented 90 degrees off. You could probably orient the page so that the landscape would settle, but that’s not the way I drew it.
peering
ALT: ink drawing, abstract bright colors. Geometric shapes in reds and oranges, bordered by yellow. And then, because ultimately everything becomes a face, I drew curly black and green lines on top to make one. With a lot of extraneous other lines and dots to decorate.
drunken bonding
ALT: crayon drawing, sort of abstract expressionist I guess, two people in conversation, but definitely looking a bit off balance. I did indeed make this one after attending a show, followed by some ridiculous conversation at a local bar.
ink pots
ALT: ink drawing in bright colors: pinks and purples on a green background. Abstract-ish, the main shape could be a fancy bottle I suppose, or pile of something twisted and decorated, paired with a big pink flower shape. The decorations are mostly within teardrop shapes on the bottle thing. I was just playing with shapes and colors.
glow tree
ALT: crayon drawing of the trunk and big branches of a very yellow tree, on a background shading from deep purple to fiery oranges.
the angry eye
ALT: abstract, crayon and ink. There is something that could be the eye of a cat or a snake near the middle, and several lines of big calligraphic imaginary writing swooping around. A lot of motion/emotion.
I don’t really get tired of making these watercolors, it’s like reliving blissful vacation dreams
ALT: watercolor painting of lake, mountain and sky. This one has clouds that are more blue than gray, the mountains are distant and purplish, and the trees on the shoreline are a dark green mass of cool shade. And probably bugs.
Final post for today, I’m caught back up.
Nothing like a little line drawing to show you just how badly the scanner bed needs cleaning!
ALT: line drawing of a cat with a star on its forehead and moons in its eyes, perched with curled tail and looking over its shoulder. Two fern leaves and a few arcs and diagonal lines fill out the rest of the space. Could be used a coloring page if you so desire.
