I'm not sure when it occurred to me. Maybe it was criticism that a working artist passed my way. I set the pens down for a month while we were in Nice and let things "sit."

 

The Muse visited and I started thinking of some really goofy ideas. I said to myself "stuff 'um! I'm doing something silly and I'm doing it for myself."

 

To explain what these were I did a title page to each drawing. As if it really explained anything, that is.

 

I first shared these with friends in England during our weekly Zoom calls. We had a "Show and Tell" kind of setup. It was a great way to get beyond the loneliness and to spend time with friends, even if it weren't in person.

Note: I was annoyed for the better part of today as my water heater died this morning & flooded my furnace room floor. Yay. While I mopped and moped (waiting for the mechanic to replace the unit so I could wash the dishes piling up in my sink) I was thinking of hedgehogs...and other prickly things. Probably a reflection of my mood... *>_<! ....I will say that concentrating on drawing pine cones (what on EARTH was I thinking??) sure took my mind off the wet, sloppy floor for a while.

Silly girl.

Ink/Gouache on $teinbach paper

This one looks a little weird, but I was in a sad mood when I drew it, so that's why it's a little crooked. It's like holding something that's bleeding... but I don't know what.
