Six Bouquets

Little explosions to celebrate a special day!

Happy 4th of July!

Ink Blot Tree

 

Still playing with blue ink.  To file under "Controlling the unpredictable".  

3 Hairy Plants

 

Where plants and columns meet.  

Blue Garden

This was a pretext to play with watercolor.  This is one of the reasons I really enjoy this drawing-a-day: sometimes I just try things with no concern about the result. 

Darkness

 

The black birds are like so many little insecurities hiding everywhere.   And the garden grows regardless. 

Birds and Leaves

 

Something peaceful to help with anxious times.  My quiet morning drawing has become a very special time for me.  

Night Garden

 

A little magical garden has sprung!  Must be the rainy weather.  

Magic Garden

 

Playing with gouache, playing with shapes and inevitably a magic garden happens.

i love working on these little square panels. because i am such a stickler for chronology, here is #2 in a series that counts 8 since last night. #1 was posted as RED DAY in january 2010.

portal

collage on canvas
10x8

things started out rather nicely on this one. except for the "portal" area which took me about 100 different tries before i was able to enjoy the result!
the piece looks like an underwater landscape to me. it reminds me of the videos on coral reefs sam and i used to watch over and over when she was little.

not much time to work on collages these days. this one if from at least a month ago. i see pieces from a large destroyed piece , pieces from invitations to shows, from postcards...
