Forgive me! I was foiled yet again by a three day weekend and forgot to post yesterday! Here is what ought to've been posted; I thought I had scheduled it.

Creepiness! And Fluidity
So, here's another watercolor (and one more below) I did over the weekend that somehow were omitted. Maybe because they’re creepy, and incongruous with my general milieu. Speaking of, the past couple weeks I’ve had an inexplicable ache in my right wing. Mostly only noticeable when at a wrong angle, but still— perplexing. Then Sunday in the hours… Continue reading Creepiness! And Fluidity
More reals and imaginaries in watercolor
Watercolor on buckling pages
I'd practically forgot about the travel set of watercolors, so brought them with me last night to do some observationals and imaginaries. She began a story— There were two houses... I don't know the rest of it, as I got lost in the rendering of two little houses, the situation of whose windows is pure whimsy. The houses list ever… Continue reading Watercolor on buckling pages
Floor plans of a room: art archive
I've no recollection of what these plans / designs were intended for; sketches at least 18 years old. Regardless of their erstwhile infamy, I don't know what the three screens were about, and don't know to what room these referred. And what on earth is “Model of Strategy”? It had to be for work (“Time to… Continue reading Floor plans of a room: art archive

In the case of the studies (second set in particular), I believe the finished pieces lost something in the translations; the faces are more… Continue reading Studies for paintings: art archive
Obervations from the sketchbook
Early grotesques: art archive
A number of years ago I published a limited edition of a book of drawings entitled A Collection of Surmised Grotesques. It was a project that grew out of my sketchbook drawings; some were loosely based on observations, though many were invented out of whole cloth. Each page featured an individual, and a line or two about personality,… Continue reading Early grotesques: art archive
Colors on whimsy: art archive
Some scans from an old sketchbook— whimsy with art markers. (Always with the forks) This one is a drawing of a table i inherited from my grandparents' house. I stripped the top surfaces and painted a black and white harlequin pattern which nicely offset the brown veneer and brass-tipped legs. I had to leave it… Continue reading Colors on whimsy: art archive
