Not Enough

It's too much to be nothing, but not enough to be something.
That's where I live:  the in-between, where nobody wants go.

I can hear the sound of my breathing echoing off the walls.

This was made with colored chalk.

Trabeculae

You know it's going to be a good day when you've already made a piece of art you like by 8:00am.

Trabeculae, 5" x 7," scratchboard.

Socket: an oil pastel drawing

I needed to buy a new white oil pastel to create this drawing.  I find it interesting that a single white pastel ranges in price from 25 cents to $4 at the store I went to.

I've come to realize that anything can be an art supply, really. Sand, old coffee, melted candles, glue, engine paint, plywood . . .

So I bought the 25 cent one.

Big surprise.

42 Hours

42 hours awake, one of them spent drawing this picture.

I made it on a series of flights to Managua, Nicaragua.

It’s a continuation of my Philippians series.

Words Are Dangerous

My House III

Watercolor and pen on vellum

My brain is full.  Words are dangerous—
so I won't give them to you tonight.

You can find more art based on human bones here, or check out the other images in the "My House" series.

The Living World

I think it's funny how we project our humanity into everything we see . . . and also how we fail to recognize life in things that don't move and change as quickly as we do.

This is an oil painting on a 3' x 4' canvas: my first with this medium.
