Decided to make my art focus on useful plants for a while, brushing up on several skills to see if I can pull together something both useful and pretty. Need to brush up on my fonts, but not until I finish sketching the pollinator garden.
#art #sketchbook #nature #foraging

Sketch of a salsify plant, flower, and seed and a sketch of a maple seedling, alongside text that reads, "Been living off the land a little more this week, gathered a table with several samples to sketch while I listen to nature sounds from the Ozarks. Found and positively identified salsify, one of those veggies we loved back in ye olde days of yore. Collected a sample to take home and sketch, then I cut the greenery off and planted the root before the rains begin. I also gathered seed, planted some, and will save the rest. Might try indoors soon. Bolted stalks were easy to spot above the grass, was glad I went when I did, it was next to a field that was recently mowed, their field was probably next. Found a bunch of maple seedlings, washed them with vinegar and gave to the birds, weaving between the bars of the cage. Made me realize I could grow maple and elm indoors for the birds. Seedlings gently pulled up are doing okay in water, also planted samara.

Sketch of an ash branch, noting it's a safe wood for pets, but not as tasty as elm samara. (Elm samara are round, ash is long) Samara means winged seed. Notes that I'm practicing my landscape in a trailer park, doodle of one of our streets with a kid's bike laying down, a focus on sketching trees at various distances.

I've always been drawn to the sound of water flowing through a small stream. It's not a roar, not even a forceful murmur, but rather a soft, gentle trickle that is constantly in the background.

Despite its lack of clamor, it attracts my attention, for no other reason than that it is persistent, steady, and calming.

Truth is a bit that way.

"What a view!" I thought.

I felt as if I had purchased tickets to the balcony, where I watched the show and heard the symphony. Light touched both the surface of the cliff and the foam of the surf, a timeless pageant of majesty that intoxicated without any need for wine.

#art #history: 'do you want to live on your knees or die on your feet?'
kathleen cleaver (born #otd in 1945) would like an answer, please.
this revolutionary kick-activist law professor was one of the most prominent leaders in the black panther party &, when she returned from exile in algeria, kathleen earned a full scholarship from yale, where, in 1984, she graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree.
#kathleenCleaver #blackPantherParty #activism #texas #illustration

digital pencil & ink illustration i drew of radical activist & smarty pants, kathleen cleaver.
here, she appears sceptical & tired of everyone's shit, wearing, as she does, a look of retired insouciance.
kathleen's face is turned to her right & she looks off into the distance, her large, architectural earrings dangling chicly from her lobes.
colours are black & shades of muted peach.

What I enjoy about hiking is that panoramic view. You stand, as if at the top of the world, and survey what feels, at that moment, like your domain.

Under a big sky, everything else -- the everything else that too often fills your thoughts and makes up your worries -- feels very small and distant.

Children bubble.

There is a vivacity about their being that brings a spring to their step, a bounce to their hop, an ebullience and sparkle to pretty much every movement they make.

They play with joy, discover with wonder, live with innocence and rapture.

How much we adults can learn from them!

The question isn't, "Do I take a walk?" but, "Should I bring the dog?"

Because she knows when I'm going on a walk. Pacing intently, tail thumping against the furniture, she looks at me with those eyes, then runs off to the laundry room where she knows the harness is.

But do I want to deal with the tugging and pulling, snuffling and sniffing?

Oh . . . probably yes.

Meet the Woman Who Made Vincent van Gogh Famous

Post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh has long captivated the public's imagination, but did you know that his success isn't only due to his artistic prowess? In reality, it was thanks to the hard work of one woman that Van Gogh rose to fame and stayed a household name long after his death.

Jo van Gogh-Bonger Amsterdam April 1889

Woodbury & Page - Geheugen van Nederland

In this photograph, Jo van Gogh-Bonger is portrayed with a composed and introspective expression. She wears a dark, high-necked Victorian dress, characteristic of the period, with subtle detailing that adds texture to the image. Her hair is styled in a neat, short bob, and she gazes directly at the viewer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_van_Gogh-Bonger#/media/File:Jo_van_Gogh-Bonger,_by_Woodbury_and_Page.jpg

Self-Portrait, Summer 1887, Paris Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (F77v).

Van Gogh depicts himself in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to the right. His gaze is intense, meeting the viewer with a direct, almost confrontational expression. His red beard, mustache, and tousled ginger hair stand out against a cool-toned background.

Retro project.

First shot at making a small wooden box, this for a 4-CD blues/gospel mix I intend to give as a gift to someone who still enjoys the format.

Joints are mitred and pinned as can be seen if you look closely.

CD working title: 'Blues & Pews'

(See replies for further developments & stay tuned; I'll post the playlist on completion. After that: a series on my fave 'fuck corporate waste' project'.)

#crafts #art #music #photography #blues #gospel #alttext

A small project strewn over a kitchen counter. Two blue joint clamps on a hardwood cutting board holding work in progress (0.25" 1.5" x 5.0" pine), a distinctive yellow and black drill, a red jar cap, a bottle of wood glue, materials and offcuts, the handle of a mitre saw, a ruled grey self-healing cutting pad below all.
