having to stay indoors through the cold winter = a pale face

as my my husband usually sits in the evenings and reads, i try to take some time to draw after the girls have gone off to bed. One particular evening he was reading the brothers karamazov (for the second time), by dostoyevsky.
I asked him to tell me the last line that he read in hopes of some sort of inspiration. So he read: “how can you talk of joy…coughing as though you would tear yourself to pieces.”
For some reason, that i cant remember why, i drew a depressed-looking, weak man with his shirt torn to shreads…
well, im back at school {after having baby#2}, and it sure would be nice to live close enough to campus to be able to just ride my bike to the studios…
lady in a wooden skirt…
this weeks topic is “contained” so the first thing that [strangely] came to mind was a tree stump in a jar…so i drew just that…
these flowers want to say something, and i cant quite understand what that is. though im sure it is gentle and kind-hearted like their friends (im guessing).
a cute little creature created from one of my drawing books. this is from a book i found at a thrift store last year, that i converted into my sketchbook. i occassionally return to it for inspiration and doodling.
and you’ll be fine.
i love these two. they seem to have such a wonderful and kind personality. i would love to hear what they had to say if it were possible…
she finally resolved to leave her hair as it was and to stop worrying about it.
im not sure why unusual objects; or heads in this case, growing from a plant fascinates me so much. i wonder what these seeds would have looked like. hm.
happy new year!
we should make it fine in 2009.
{whatever that means in your world}
a planted head in a ‘handsome pedestal container’.
this is a drawing that i gave to suzanne for christmas and realized that it wasnt on my site yet…
…and again….anther drawing done in my moleskine planner…
ill be honest…when i read this weeks topic, i had no idea what it meant. so after looking it up, i learned that it means in secrecy, or held in secret. so the first thing that came to mind was something scandalous. that then led to a drawing of innocent footsie between two eccentric lovers…
jonathan had the ever-so-brilliant idea to wrap our gifts in newspaper this year!
but wait…we arent just wrapping them in newspaper…but beautiful newspaper.
the new york times newspaper to be exact. have you ever seen their images? usually stunning.
but wait….we arent just wrapping them in beautiful paper. we are wrapping them in beautiful images that give you a hint as to what’s inside of them!
this is so much fun, and not to mention eco-friendly. well, as eco-friendly as newsprint can be. atleast we arent wasting money on rolls of christmas paper when we had an abundance of beautiful newspaper in the art studio just waiting to be used.
merry christmas to you all!
drawing of a home that i did a few weeks ago. sorry that my posting has slowed down. im going to blame the time of year, things will pick back up again soon! hope youre all enjoying your holidays!
by the way…the title is a bob dylan quote…
ive got you on my mind
okay, so i have been searching for inspiration alot lately, and matthew dent seemed to do it for me. thank you matthew.
finally….heres my submission for IF. for some reason i have named this little lady ‘sally’, and she seems to have gotten too rambunctious at the christmas party…
shes wrapped in a towel.
standing on a log.
seemingly wet and sad.
two empty chairs.
and a window.
alone.
in the woods again.

i drew this the other day (at work again) and it turned out looking a lot like our neighbor catherine. she is one of those that is fortunate enough to age gracefully.

here is the first drawing that came from my previous post “inspiration in the forest…”. im hoping more come from this inspiration. this isnt exactly the direction i thought i was going to take with this, but it turned out rather interesting. hopefully more should follow.
my intention: a woman with eccentric hair and features
my result: an awkward thing
the interpretation: a man on vacation wearing something that he’d never wear back home

oh, how she must have felt.
i pitty her life as it was and applaud her strength…
a strength that whites can only dream of and will never understand.
