in my heart

what i have been meditating on….

good or bad, my actions do not define me.
only i know what is in my heart
therefore
i cannot possibly know
what lives in another person’s heart
& should not judge them by their actions.

up top: “releasing the bluebird of happiness” 6X6 mixed media on watercolor paper…$35
above left: “let’s save the species” 8X8 charcoal pencil & soft pastel on watercolor paper…$55
above right: “those meddling kids…they might just save the world” 9X12 charcoal pencil & soft pastel on watercolor paper…$75

all of these were done by making an ink stain & finding an image in the stain…you know, reading the universe’s tea leaves.

a fairy tale life

i am searching
for a way
to tell a story with my art
as the true story of me
unwinds in my heart
& head
retold
with a new voice
i try to find
the best path
forward

my process for this one (& for “escape”) is to stain a piece of watercolor paper, find an image in the stain, and bring that image/story to life with pencils, oil pastels, ink, & acrylics.
i like what is happening.
& it is kind of a blend of techniques i have used as well as new approaches to art.
maybe i should throw in some collage?
i guess as i figure out who i am…i figure out how to express what i need to express.

creepy art for all hallows eve….

feeling a bit creepy
and it shows in my art
this is the one day of the year
i wear make-up
i will be answering my door tonight
as a gruesome ghoul
& handing out monster
cookies.

quixotic starwhal

i am still working on journal pages of course of course.
but i am also trying to get some small illustrations done for my upcoming collection of short stories due for publication later this year. tangled together is a long time coming collection of flash fiction & short stories. i will be so happy to finally see my stories in print.

also trying to cope with a world that i just want to burn to the ground…but apparently that is not the way things are done? not that i’m good at doing things the way they are supposed to do….

in lieu of matches–i made some patches.
art saves the world once more!
