A Cloud
I found this drawing today. It's from 1998. A cloud with too much vivacity--Mayakovsky's A Cloud in Trousers.
Pinot
This is our cat, Pinot (he has an almost twin brother named Grigio).
He likes to hang over the edges of thihgs--or to dangle down into the gaping space of the stairwell from the second floor of our house.
A Museum
....in Venice. With water lapping at its treasures. Thinking about the museum design work of architects Carlo Scarpa and Sverre Fehn.
Dame Edith
\\Everyone ought to have a cache of guilty pleasures and I have a large, well-stocked one, chief among them being my collecting and avid reading of books by the Sitwells, Edith and her brothers, Osbert and Sacheverell. The little inept drawing of Edith was made while I was reading Victoria Glendinning's biography of her. I see I was also reading Bruce Chatwin's novel, Utz, at more or less the same time.
SCEPTIC
No matter how rough I make this face, it always looks Roman--or at least classical. It's kind of pleasant, however, to think of one's drawing as a sort of weathering.
Haughty Bird
A scrap of creamy notebook paper, some wanton sweeps of blue paint. They seem to hsve made a bird.
Nautilus
Sometimes you just want to paint and paint and paint until there's nothing but paint everywhere and whatever image wishes to be born from the miasma can find its own way to the surface.
Woman With Drawers
Drawers as in pull-out drawers in furniture (not as in underwear pants). Probably thinking of Salvadore Dali's giraffes and elephants with drawers
Man Releasing Bird
Releasing a bird is like getting (and keeping) an idea. It's like climbing a ladder.
Asteroid Ascending
If I'm going to post pages from my daily notebook--and it appears that I am--then I thought it just as well to begin with an image of ascension: in this case, of a blob that seemed (when attached to a seeep of white pigmeht on my fingers) to be lifting off from somewhere else, rather than heading in to terrorize us.
