Heidi's bouquet
watercolor, by me |
Last night, I suffered from insomnia. This is, unfortunately, fairly common for me, though I've discovered that if I avoid certain foods, I sleep much better. Last night, I did not sleep well at all, and as often happens, I had weird and scary hypnogogic images so bright as to be almost hallucinatory. Those are the first two images. The third I drew ("painted") with oil pastels at the motel when I was awake at night. The fourth image my friend Heidi drew for me in my handmade sketchbook when I was visiting her, and the lsat I painted of her bouquet right before bed. A delayed bedtime, due to doing art.
In the blood on the cinch painting, I was rubbing blood on a beautiful highly decorative cinch on my horse.
