Repeated themes, a continuing effort to make interesting, “true” drawings. Also, Birthday Season in Amsterdam for my family which means paintings and cards for all. Greater world affairs: Worrying. Maybe I need to draw some of that? I think that but end up drawing more personally. For now. Thank you to people looking, and especially to those offering kind words. It’s very encouraging.

News has me worried, but maybe maybe a blue wave will prevail. And be counted. Meanwhile, more edits on my animation and thoughts of other art efforts, family and friend visits, relief at walking with ease again are my current antidotes. A lot of color below:

The stories are mild so I’m hoping the craft of drawing and painting adds enough interest. Sometimes I feel I SHOULD be documenting our political moment but then I just don’t want to draw our “leader” or the devastation he and his cronies are causing. Hoping the colors offered are a respite.

BUT, making artwork, or doing any work, requires discipline. My challenge is saving and keeping solo studio time , which is needed and wonderful BUT, I miss my people and interrupt my concentration by electronically seeking them. Another BUT, sending missives out does result in surprise and connection: my son’s friend (my friend) offered to “clean up my animation” and help with audio for my animation, with only one degree of separation from a phenomenal young jazz musician and composer.

Also, our nation. 250 years. Room for improvement, immediately.

That meant lots of solo, obsessive work time but succeeded with the help of some advisors. The animation is called, “When Suddenly.” Someone asked me what I was doing it for. I was flummoxed. For myself? for Art? For The World to see?

Also this week: our insane, corrupt and cruel government with Supreme Court rulings that just get worse and worse. Also: our first week of summer and my slowly healing knee bruise that I got from falling over an ottoman in the dark. Next time: lights on. Theme for my week: Slow Down.

I'm looking for a daily rhythm and as if it will translate, I see I’ve made something rhythmic on every page. Maybe it’s the extra music from singing and listening, or the influence of working on my animation. I'm posting a new clip to paying subscribers as a thank you. Wishing you all a thank you for looking at these posts with a renewed invitation to comment on anything that interests you.
