Day 6 #blackcat
"Pride" - charcoal on paper
#Spooktober #drawing #traditionalmedium #family #horror #nightmare #gothicrevival

Drawing of 3 seated figures on a sofa. On the left is an adult woman in a dress, left arm folded behind her back, her head is a lion skull. She gazes down at two children, next to her a boy in shorts and a white shirt, on the right is a girl in a white dress, her hair in braids wrapped over her head, face slightly turned to the left and half in shadow. The children have a pensive, critical expression, as if they are judging the viewer.

Third layer printed of a group of karri trees, now hoping the weather warms up so they will dry quickly.

Child's gas mask on a bed of twigs, painted over a barely visible antique map of England, a red ribbon is tied to the bottom of the breathing hose.

It’s the first of October ya’ll! Spooky season is upon us! In honour of that, here is a color pencil drawing about the scariest thing in the world: interpersonal relationships you can’t avoid
#wip #traditionalmedium #colourpencils #family

A Brightly coloured slightly abstract colour pencil drawing of two women. One women is bent over, her blue hair pools at the bottom of the picture. She stares menacingly at the viewer with bright red eyes. Slightly behind her stands a wailing woman, red liquid pours from her eyes. She places her hands on the bent woman’s head and back as if offering comfort. Golden strands are attached to both figures like spiderwebs holding them in place.

Todays #dailyart is a lovely oil pastel rendition of the potted plant on my front porch. I loved capturing the intricate patterns of the Mexican pottery! 🪴🏺💙

Watrous holidays are always replenishing. This Labor Day, however, I needed to clear some space at Feat of Clay & took a series of prints/small originals to share.

The buyer sent me a photo of this one's new home -- beside Legos.

As a teen, portraits were all I cared to do. I got stuck. In the last six years, I've worked on anatomy, muscled the planes of the face, argued with old habits by line-heavy drawing.

Always a work-in-progress. People are hard.
