Staying On the Road

Making pictures is like driving through a snowstorm at night. You just plow along, frightened and mesmerized, staying in the moment. Don't look left or right. Eyes on the road! Don't focus on the dazzling blinding white flakes.
No judgement or flights of fancy. Be nice to yourself. Relax. Keep painting.
Here, odds and ends from the past few weeks. All works 8 1/2 x 11 in a black-bound sketchbook.

At a Crossroads

Mad birds stalk away from a central meeting point. How'd they get there? And why are they all leaving at the same time? And why are they angry?

They are mad because they just heard about the most recent United Nations Climate Study that says the dear old planet has a few decades before all goes to Hell. Literally.

Wouldn't you be pissed?!

There is a story here, somewhere.
Somersaults, heart flips
To the stars
And to the store
Stone by stone
Paper castles.
