Baby's Head & A Pear

A baby's head and a pear
the Aztecs carry up the stair.
From a spigot rainbows flow then
stop
at the light and wonder why
that curlicue is there.

8/24 Bauble

On 8/24 I went back to an old practice of painting what I call baubles. I haven't done one in months, but all the materials were left on the table waiting for me to try again.

8/27 future baubles

The plan was: draw future baubles for 15 minutes or fill the last three pages of my sketchbook, whichever comes first. Turns out they take longer than I remember. I exceeded my time limit and filled only one page. The process was interesting. As I began there were problems, irritations, water dripping on me. As I worked I became very focused and began enjoying my self. All problems and stress shifted, I went into deep concentration and all was well.

8/27 Bauble: Outside the Lines

I painted this one late at night. I was tired and had shaky hands. Sometimes life be like that.

You Decide

Some of the imagery in the collage I made today makes sense since it was recently the air and water show and I recently visited the Bahai temple. The rest is a mystery.

Blue Evolution

I made this collage on Sun Aug 21 2011. I chose to go with the color blue and images that were in some way surprising or intriguing to me. It's interesting that hands appear here as well as in Feel Good in My Body, the collage I did a few days earlier. I like the vivid colors, the sense of forward motion, evolution, swimming to flight, earth, water, sky, the zigzags implied in the landscape. There is something humorous about those webbed hands, something serious about that bird's expression.
