abstract doodles and migraines...

Hello world.

:-)

I haven't posted in a few days,

so it's nice to be back.

This piece (above) was created after a migraine

over the weekend.

I get them now and then.

Painful enough to make my eyelashes hurt,

but not life threatening, so it's all good. :-)

Watercolor and colored pencils.

This little squiggly pencil sketch is from last night.

It was such a lovely night for art,

although i could do without the june bugs,

flapping their desperate wings in the window screen.

Welcome to summer... :-)

A bit of added color...

...a bit more, and then black sharpie marker.

I took the other photos last night

and this photo was taken this morning,

next to the window (natural lighting).

So much prettier with natural light.

It's not done yet.

I'll add a few things to it today...

probably dots!

;-)

Thank you all again so much for your comments.

I would continue to be creative

even if no one was out there,

and i was the last person on earth,

but it's so much more fun

and inspiring

to have you all on this journey with me.

I love being able to share our art

with one another,

despite the distances and differences

that separate us.

I appreciate our differences,

but I like to focus on our similarities.

Our commonalities.

What makes us tick.

What gives us purpose.

What connects us to one another.

Art.

Rah Rah Rah!!

:-)

Have a great week everyone...

A portrait of Richard Desjardins

This is Richard Desjardins,

another Canadian singer songwriter (from Quebec)

that I love.

I thought i'd attempt to do a very loose portrait of him

with my giant box of Crayola wax crayons.

I used a large poster sheet i had hanging around the house,

(2 feet x 3 feet)

I think his face is so interesting.

Or maybe I just have a thing for musicians?

;-)

Obviously a very loose drawing...

I ended up adding a bit of oil pastels to it

when the wax crayons just weren't dark enough.

Doesn't look much like him

but it's at least a portrait.

and it was so much fun to do.

I love the squiggly lines everywhere...

Happy Friday everyone!

Try to do at least one thing that brings

a smile to your face today.

Maybe go out and buy a box of Crayolas

and play. 

xoxo
