Pastel and gouache on wood

This piece is inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week that’s just left us. Belated and as cryptic as things might be (as usual) here in Bleu’s world, better late to the party than never right?

Pastel and gouache on wood

I did this when I was studying soft pastels. I am no good with this medium so I turned to acrylic painting.

I was inspired to do this after seeing a work in a Dk art book.This is about the relationship I had in the past with my doctors. Today, I have moved past the fighting and I work with these people.

Repeated psych-folk listenings/last night’s drunken pretensions informed a misspelling of things or two...

Living in the moment...

The race heats up!

Day of the Dead vibes all around here!

Meal time for the jellyfish.

More toffee tinted, if anything.

Saw this missing cat poster whilse out running errands the other day which started off with the sentence "Answers to Esme", and those words have been circling around in my head ever since. Naturally, the end product here had little to do with the finished artwork!

Eyes meeting trees, and a hint of surveillance.

Pink aliens in lieu of pink elephants here.

Midnight madness/fun with artwork titles...

Never dumb down for the dumbed down folks.

Surreal folks in surreal worlds.

Aliens seeking company and respite...

Romantic birds and their narwhal pals.

New sketchbook time! Onwards to new doodling-flavoured adventures... Keeping it simple to start things off (as is custom).

And that finishes things off with my current sketchbook! Here's to what the next one brings :)

Keeping one's head above the water in times of crisis...

Cats, space, and the usuals.

Aaaaaaaaaand, September is here. Let's make this autumn a creative one...

Another episode of narwhal fever.

Definitely in need of an escape, methinks.

Island mentality.

Onwards to closure.

Kicking art blocks where it hurts, one step at a time.

Something simpler (on the surface at least).
