Lotus Meditation for Lost Souls

This is done (by me) in Faber-Castell PITT Artist brush pens, pens, pencils, colored pencils. The second is the two-page spread. It wouldn't fit on my scanner so I took a snap. Sorry about the reflections. Image size increases slightly when clicked upon.

Self Portrait as the artist looking at the future

Of course, this is me YOUNGER than I am now (not really me at all). Done in Roma's with markers and pens and a little colored pencil. The top one is the newer version--I'm never sure when I am done with a piece and I decided the lighting wasn't right on it. The bottom one, for inquiring minds, is the original.

The third picture is me last night with a hastily rendered copy of Cezanne's 3 Skulls done at the DIA in ordinary pencil. They have drawing sessions and provide seats, paper, pencils and easels every Friday night. And I think Sunday afternoons, too. It;'s the first time I've done it. If I do it again, I may bring my own pencils, stubs etc. It was a huge paper to fill in a short time with a pencil, and I didn't get it quite right--but I had a good time and looked CAREFULLY at the painting--more carefully than ever before.

below is a pocket item for Roma's pocket, it is a super-quick mini sketch of BB, my husband Keith. I did it last night on a very small "art pad." (Sm Assignment notebook-size.)

On my screen, the image is larger than the actual sketch. It is done in pencil, markers and colored pencil.

New Moleskine Exchange Round

Round two of the first group's Moleskine exchange has started and what this shows is the pocket at the back of the book and two of the many things I put into the pocket for the other members. There are 12 members in the group. I put in twelve small prints of each of the two
art pieces from previous mole. I also put in one print of a muskrat skull because I did a faux-scientific illo of the skull in my book. You can see the work of the group here. My first contribution is here. I will be posting regularly to that site and also to either IMAGIK, IMAGIK ART, or both, if you're interested in seeing what I do.
