Blue

Not Quite Blue
This is part of a series on "body parts." It isn't blue yet. I'm not sure how I'm going to do that. But it's almost blue.

Small

Free

"Don't just do something. Sit there."

Thich Nhat Hanh

Remote

Here's this week's Illo Friday topic, "Remote."

So close and yet so far away.

Cold

This week's challenge from Illo Friday: COLD
I found some fur in a web search and 'pasted' it on her but she still looks cold to me.

Fresh

This week's topic at Illo Friday is "FRESH." All I could think of was vegetables and they were too hard to draw. So I was about to give up when this image popped into my head and it seemed kind of ''fresh'' to me. Voila.

Escape

I thought about desert islands, and Alcatraz, and hatches, but, hey, here I am in the here and now. As are you.

Here is this week's entry to Illustration Friday.

Depth

Door into the Dark

I love Seamus Heaney's line, "All I see is a door into the dark," with its suggestion of coming from the Light. When I began my Illustration Friday drawing of this week's assignment, "Depth," his words came to my mind. Thus, the title.

Reflection

This week's assignment from Illustration Friday is "Reflection." I had an illustration that I made some time ago which, I think, fits the theme. I painted it to express these lines by Wallace Stevens. (If you want to read his whole poem, go here--Stevens)

Say that the palms are clear in the total blue.

Are clear and are obscure; that it is night;

That the moon shines.

Wisdom

Empty

Aging

Tranquility
