My art archive, Feb 5. Another gourd, this time showing the painted inside. Spirals have always been one of my favorite motifs.

Today’s art, Feb 4. For a while I made these painted gourds. They were lined with washi paper and painted on the inside. This one I made for a friend to give her brother as a wedding present. I have to admit, it’s gorgeous.
Painted gourd, somewhat pear shaped, with silhouettes of musician playing horns, with scattered musical notes. A seam marks the division of the top and bottom. The top has a black tassel attached for opening it up.

I made the mistake of having doctors appointments two days in a row. I should know better. I’m exhausted from stress. It’s going to take days to recover.

Today’s art, Feb 3. Drawing from a photo of a mummy, a female wearing boots. I don’t remember where I originally saw this, but there is a note that S.W.U.S. so I guess it’s Southwestern US?
Pencil drawing from a photograph of a female mummy, she is lying on her back with her left arm across her body, her face is turned to the right, she has dark hair. Both legs are bent and turned to the right and she is wearing a boot with beads and decoration on it. She also seems to have some sort of belt partly around her waist, but other than that she is naked.

My art, day 33 (Feb 2). The Red Forest. This was just an experiment with various techniques that I can’t even remember now, but it’s pretty interesting
A somewhat abstract etching, dark red ink on cream colored paper. It resembles a forest with tree trunks and some triangular branches reaching across.

Day 32 (Feb 1), my art. One of my favorite prints. It won a couple of awards in print shows, but only after I changed the title from Tea Party to Miss Otis Regrets. (some of you will get the reference)
An etching, dark red on cream colored paper, using the technique called open-bite. It shows a tall tea or coffee pot decorated with flowers, two cups and saucers, and two spoons. The tablecloth is striped, with lines and dots on the stripes. The wallpaper behind has large rose-like flowers.

This is who runs this account.
Black and white picture of a little girl wearing a Tshirt and jeans that are obviously new because they have big cuffs to make them fit and suspenders to hold them up. She is standing in a dirt lot and in the distance is a building with a 1950s car in front of it.

Day 31, my art. So far I’ve managed to keep posting for a month. I wonder if I can make it to a year.
Digital mosaic, Chicken and Egg. This is based on a mosaic from a Roman dining room floor. Romans loved chickens and birds as motifs.

Timely! 🙌🏻 Lizzy & The Triggermen sing Irving Berlin's anti-Hitler protest song 1941.

🎵 When they lay him 12 ft deep
I'll be there to laugh not weep

Satan thought up a plan
Dressed as a man & since he began
the world is Hell for you & me

What a Heaven it will be
When that man is dead & gone 🎵 💯

My art, day 30. Digital version of my miniature Egyptian etching.
Nude figure lying on sand-colored ground with her head and shoulders up and one hand stretched out in front of her. Her skin is brown and her hair is black, in a sharp bob with bangs. She wears a gold snake bracelet twined around her upper arm and a gold hoop earring with green and red ornaments. Behind her in the background, is a bright blue sky and a row of stylized papyrus plants in green and yellow.

Interesting article, but my favorite line is '…as a side effect he believed the gun would "convince the Turks of the benefits of Christian civilisation".'

Day 29 of my art, another drawing from one of my old sketchbooks. I feel the mood.
Pencil sketch of a woman sitting with her arms crossed on a table wearing a dark long sleeve shirt. Her hair is chin length, parted in the middle, and she is looking down with a sad expression.

My art, day 28. A paisley shape from when I was learning Procreate. I don’t use it much anymore.
A paisley shape, like a pear with a curl at the top, covered in swirling designs of flowers and leaves. The main color is turquoise and the designs are in blue, pink, and purple. The main shape is surrounded by pin-like lines with purple dots on top.

The internet (or rather Spectrum) has been down in my neighborhood since last night. Now they’re saying it will be another three hours. It’s not like they can blame the weather…maybe they will say it’s ash from the volcano.

Day 26 of my art. More shoes.
Shoes on a woman’s feet. High heels with a wavy design around the edge. The floor has straight lines like a hardwood floor, and the wallpaper is a repeating design of overlapping circles. High heeled sandals, worn by a woman. The sandals have narrow straps across the toes and the instep, and from the ankle up there are five straps. A center strap connects all of them. The floor is an ogee tile pattern, and the wallpaper is a jungle pattern of leaves and flowers.

Day 25, a couple more of my shoe drawings. I still may make a "The Year in Shoes" calendar.
Black and white digital outline drawing of three pairs of women’s legs in various shoes and tights. On the left, short cuffed boots, and tights with an swirling abstract design. In the middle, shoes with a small heel and two straps, and tights with a small flower design. On the right, simple shoes with one strap and tights with different sizes and shapes of rectangles. They are standing on a sidewalk with a brick wall behind them. Black and white digital outline drawing of a woman’s ankles, wearing high heels with a low cut slightly pointed toe and one strap across the instep with a small rose at the center. Her feet are crossed, one foot is resting on a diagonally tiled floor, and the wallpaper in the background is wavy lines with large roses, like the small roses on the shoes.
