Something, something, Green Man vibes…

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.

Lindsey's prompt: Green Lantern

Inspired by what a Welsh newspaper article I randomly chanced upon had to say about the Green Man festival…

Inspired by my children when they tried to help with the garden when they were toddlers

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!

Back at it...

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Yes, the titles will remain forever random.

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

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.

This guy makes me smile. Watercolor with pencil.

A vibrant garden scene showcasing an array of colorful flowers with tall stems. The background features a mix of greens and yellows, adding to the lively atmosphere.

A quaint old building stands amidst lush greenery, with a cobblestone path leading to its entrance. Trees frame the scene under a partly cloudy sky.

To draw a forest so it's big enough you don't include the tops of the trees or any sky. Just very thick tree-trunks growing absolutely straight. ... In a proper painting of a forest everything is roughly the same colour, the moss, the tree-trunks and the branches of the fir trees, everything is soft and solemn, half-way between grey and brown and green but very little green. If you want you can add a princess, for example. She is always white and very tiny and has long yellow hair. Sculptor's daughter by Tove Jansson.

Cute green cat -character design for my Red Bubble Shop.

Hi. With October coming up, I have been in the mood to draw up monsters and witches. And I found this piece from last year. I am working on her again this year and see if I made any growth from the previous year. You'll see her again soon!
