It has been several days between blogs. Still not doing much in the way of artwork…but some writing. While looking through the “Artwork” folder last week I found these small water colored boats. I called them Air boats. Probably thought they could be used in a story of some kind…maybe a children’s book. They were never used, so I resized some to post here. The first one seems appropriate for where I am now…stuck!
I made them from bits and pieces around the studio several years ago. These images are slightly larger than the actual watercolors. Funny how many times I have drawn, painted, and built boats. I do not like water, so the boat has always represented safety…a place that offered protection. Anyway, here they are with the uglier ones left behind.
It is time for another political work to be installed in the garage. I am thinking all those pin cushions from the Trump sycophant line up being marched and falling into a garbage bag. The problem is, no dumping would be complete without the horrible Kristi Gnome, Marco Stupido, and, of course, the so much despised, Karoline B’Leav-it. So this week I will pull out what is left of the felt and get to work. The RFK Jr. pincushion has a bloody bear’s head to hang on to, so Kristi needs a dog fighting back. Karoline needs loads of crosses and be standing on a stack of Trump bibles. Marco just needs that blank, vacant drowsy stare of someone without a soul. J D Vance? Crotch-hugging short pants and a passport to somewhere else. Not sure I will ever see them all go on trial, but I can hope.
So busy week ahead I guess.
I went out to dinner with a friend last night and with a lack of bar snacks, we ordered one of their pretzels. I came hanging off a banana rack…most of it went uneaten.
I have been fixing myself one good cocktail each afternoon before dinner. Here is my Negroni from two nights ago.
So now I will get back to writing. I need to go over my note-taking done at the bar the last couple of weeks to see if there is something worth digging into further. But first I need to finish a poem and short story I am working on. Later this fall I should have another book available through Amazon.
Til later…..
