I find my artwork going in strange directions. Not what I expected at all! I think I'm going to have to enroll in a course on Jungian archetypes. Lots of serpents, tracks, circles, and strange, dark figures. I'm beginning to understand where petroglyphs come from. :-) #art2life #ArtYear

I've been taking a figure drawing class. This is a quick gesture sketch I've tried on my one. It is substantially different from any other kind of artwork I've done before.

There’s no word for this other than evil.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

I've had Gudy Gaskill on my mind lately. Gudy's dream and vision was the Colorado Trail. She was a woman who refused to accept what was "impossible," and by force of will made her dream of something lasting to her and to future generations come true. I hope we can keep Gudy's legacy alive!

The real journey is often discovered on the Colorado Trail.

I have a practice of creating a small collage every morning as an art warmup.

I'm having some fun starting my mornings off with a small collage. I find them a riot of color and Jungian mystery. Extremely compelling. #ArtYear

I just allowed myself to play around with paint yesterday, and found this composition on my journal page. :-) #ArtYear

Joseph Campbell said most people weren't looking for the meaning of life, they were looking for the experience of being alive. That's what I found in the early morning light on the Colorado Trail.
