green

Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds. — William Wordsworth

Vampire Cat. Green is actually my favorite color, but it’s the only colored marker I have in my house.

Brainstorm. I decided the color of intelligence is green. This can be backed with science and a random internet article or two.

Wee watercolour sketch of Donkey Orchids from the forest near Greenbushes.

Based on a photo I took when I was there a few weeks ago. Bic pen in my sketchbook

Turned another one of my cats into a sticker....he can keep the green cat company. These guys crack me up.

Turned this guy into a sticker. I have him on my laptop because he makes me laugh.

This guy makes me smile. Watercolor with pencil.

Sad Green Elephant

A Brief Pause at the Edge of Becoming It seems I am always seeking a place to sit— not just to rest the body, but to settle the soul. Yet even in stillness, Gary Brecka’s words whisper: “The quickest way to old age is the aggressive pursuit of comfort.” So I do not stay long. I walked until I found a picnic table beneath a canopy of bare-limbed trees, branches like open hands waiting for green. The blue spruces nearby— stoic, unchanged, whispering that some things endure. I sketched. Not perfectly. Not for anyone’s praise. Just a mark to say: I was here. Alive in this in-between. Waiting. Listening. Not for leaves— but for something truer than comfort. Thank you for joining me in this small noticing. A moment borrowed from the rush. A table. A tree. A thought. A gift.

Markers on green paper, it's the back of a letter, didn't realize it would be so flimsy! Oh well, just a quick one.

Watercolor and pencil

Mushrooms, moons and squids… also known as, the usual suspects.

Back at it...

What's in front of me. I had to use more than one color because it just didn't feel right only brown, or only green.

I did a lot of cats in the Daniel Smith green gold watercolor. Definitely a fun color!

For a long time, I always misheard the lyrics in the song ‘Torn Green Velvet Eyes’ by The Magnetic Fields as ‘Tom Green Velvet Eyes’… told myself that one day I’d draw something inspired by this mishearing of things and well, here you go!

When you find a mondegreen in one of your favourite Magnetic Fields songs and it sets off your creativity... Can’t be only one mishearing things here? Stephin Merritt sure knew how to mumble back in the ‘90s, that’s for certain: https://youtu.be/UGNKhVJbDM8

Sewing paper is lots of fun. Taking a lot of my cats and sewing them to pretty paper. Not sure what I will do with them after that, but they are fun to make.

Robots and whales united against transphobia!

A bit of art therapy from this time last week after an overheated and, at times, shit-tacular day at work = the best kind of therapy.

I do like a good mondegreen, that much is true. See the radio edit of Royksopp’s ‘Remind Me’ for more details (I might not be mishearing the lyrics, but it’s still quite the earworm): https://youtu.be/XEQcWbbkyPY
