The Fool

 

Today, the Fool.  Very present in the Queen's world.  He comes with joie de vivre and also with foolish hopes.  With impromptu plans and impossible projects.  Why is he carrying a piglet today?  No clue.  

A Parade

 

Drawing from a tiny old notebook:  A Parade to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

Marching Fool

 

The fool knows best:  keep going, no matter what.  A good weekend of rest will help!

Pretzel-Fool

 

Just for fun.  

Fool's Balancing Act

 

The Queen, the Fool, they are all doing it.  The ground may not be far but it is still a precarious balance.  

Fresh Dreams

The Fool and his Fresh Dreams.  Are they foolish dreams? 

Fool, Child, Birds

 

A bit more playful tonight.  

King and Fool

 

Images come to me.  I do not know why or what they mean.  Probably should try  again to read Joseph Campbell.  Or not.  

Fool and Child

 

And some birds too!  The birds always make me happy.  

Friends and Birds

 

I enjoy it when themes combine.  Here 3 of them: fools, friendship and birds.  

Fool and birds again

 

Fools and birds go well together, don't they?  

Fool and Birds

 

Red Fool

 

The fools keep coming.  I like them.  I think of them as beings with no worries, no anxieties.  

Blue Fool

 

Blue Fool.  In PJ's?  

Green Fool

 

I remember watching a little friend, Katherine, drawing some girl figures.  I delighted in the intense and controlled way she colored the outfit entirely in black.  It gave the drawing such a sense of design.  I love black too.  My turn to color in black. 

Parade

 

Child, Fool and Bear.  Where do these come from?  I was driving back from Williamstown thinking of a tiny native watercolor of 2 youths on horses I saw at the College Museum.  And these 3 popped in my mind.  The fool was leading.  But I enjoyed putting the child first when it came to drawing.
