Going out again today to walk with a crowd holding up signs and talking of a different path.

#foundpaper in infinite jest!

Seven vaguely circular forms intersect, some over lapping, one sits next to but does not intersect the other forms. Mostly red, red-orange colors but for the non-intersecting form which is brownish.

Intersecting circles of influence. #abstractart #kunst #contemporaryart #analogart #handpainted #foundpaper

Outline of a turkey on a blue field of color. Splashes of red across the page. Could represent blood.

Almost turkey day. Time to sharpen that axe.
Pass me those taters.

Vertical straw colored lines meet horizontal blues of various hues. Expressionist landscape.

Remembered walk along the River.

A drawing of two ladies with extraordinarily weird hats, looking at each other with some contempt. The left hat looks like it‘s alive with many tentacles and strange protrusions, and the right one has many eyes. Drawn on a brown paper fruit bag with red print, using red ink and some white highlights, with the fruitbag print making up most of the hat on the right side. On the upper edge I wrote the sentence „So ein Hut macht was her“ in black ink (meaning „such a hat makes quite an impression“ in english). Diese Zeichnung zeigt zwei Damen mit sehr ungewöhnlichen Hüten, die sich gegenseitig abschätzig betrachten. Der linke Hut sieht aus, als ob er lebendig ist, mit vielen Tentakeln und seltsamen Auswüchsen, und der rechte hat viele Augen. Gezeichnet auf einer Obsttüte aus braunem Papier mit rotem Aufdruck, in roter Tinte mit ein paar weißen Lichtern. Der Aufdruck bildet einen Großteil des Hutes auf der rechten Seite. Darüber steht in schwarz der Satz „So ein Hut macht was her“.

Hats. Hüte.

It's Friday in my world, the wind is reminding us of the months ahead we will want to wear extra layers.
This was photographed in 2012, but it's from a show I did called "9 years late(r)", so it's probably from around ~2003.

Large orange colored rectangle has greenish shapes where eyes, nose, and mouth might be. Painted on page from a book of poems. Poems are the foundation of modern culture via the ancient Greeks.

The orange plague.
Is there a cure?

Also, didn't he have classified documents in his possession?

painted paper bag of a face/mask. Bright colors. Hot pink nose and cheeks, orange forehead, yellow face, green eyes, brown shadows below the eyes, black triangles on the edges where sideburns and muttinchops might be. Symmetrical. Some wording on the left edge running the length of the page. "Playing the clown...something, something,,,more the fool."

Clowns or fools?

An abstract composition made of vaguely geometric forms in shades of orange, red, yellow-green, burnt umber, and almost black. Pleasing to the eye, troubling to the soul.

Composition
from a bound booklet, 2023-4?

I'm going to go work in the garden. It's time.

Jumbled
Walk lightly as you marvel as your garden sprouts after this late spring rain, so you can help your immune system stay strong, and reconnect with an old friend as we travel along this wondrous, scary, some say sacred path of life.

three vaguely square shapes attached by a curved line to a larger amoeba shape. All in shades of grey. All on a blank ledger sheet pulled from a book.

To all those women who in spite of everything, raised us, Happy Mum Day.

Various insect like creatures in a random pattern across the silver page. Some random amorphic shapes might be eggs or just incomplete bugs.

Officially bug season in the #gardenonthesideofahill.

We had a female maggot yelling at us from their car as we stood holding up our signs that listed the various things the current federal admin is trying to do. Anger and hate in her eyes.

Yellow filigree printed on a page from a textbook. Background is blood red with some red running down the central column of the yellow.

Something I scanned in 2021. When I actually made it is a Sherlock problem.
gelli plate w/stencil.

It could represent the blood on the hands of the then current administration, or it is just a random image that sort of looks cool.

The mist and rain are releasing the earth bound spirits awakening from their seasonal rest.
Go stick your nose in some dirt.
