And There We Are

What happens here? It looks there is wind, coming from the right and everything that we see is effected. It is a strong wind. Little things are being blown away to the left.If the wind goes on like this for a longer time, what are we going to be left with? Maybe some branches will…

Parade

So you still have those monsters… she says.But I meant this to be a flower. It has some strange dark side to it. It’s true. It gives you a bad look. And this, I meant it to be a branch, a tree, and a piece of the sky is caught up in it.And this is…

Tossing and Turning

I have been going through hard times with the pain, with meds that had terrible side effects, with a disappointment at the inability of medical Marijuana to help and with it own side effects too. I moved from having the pain relieved somewhat but starting to have heart problems, unpleasant changes in the digestive system,…

Who Needs a Subject?

I came off the bed where I did not sleep and sat down to do a drawing. The colors will come in the day, I thought. This is indeed what happened. I had a feeling about how I wanted the language of the painting to be. It was a pleasant feeling, like a feeling that…

My mood improved this morning when I gave a name to the painting of yesterday. The name is Encumbered Flow (I wrote this a week ago). I had a not-so-good feeling about this painting and I thought about different ways to change it by adding more things. I didn’t. Maybe I could change the contrast…

The Dream and the Life

The Yellow Drawing

In the moment I finish it I know I want to use some colored pencil on it. I know where and how. I wait for the drawing to dry. I listen to the radio. The music is beautiful. Then I look again and the drawing is dry. And it is beautiful as it is. It…

There, Not There

There are two paintings in this entry. The first gives a good feeling. All the shapes feel good with each other. They are very close together and whatever happens in the picture, they all take part in it.  But when I was painting, I knew that the big brown roundish shape in the middle of…
