Drawing to teach myself the tarot: both the Waite-Smith and Thoth decks. The High Priestess has exchanged her scroll of memory for a cell phone. Her two pillars and silver crown led my subconscious to The Moon card, hence the shellfish. Her temple is open to the bird-filled night sky.

Pen and ink portrait of Natalia on our whalewatching trip. In the spirit of realism, the scattered ocean waves to her left show an utter lack of whales. . .. ... .. . #adhd-comics #portrait #art #artwork #penandink #penandinkdrawing #dippen #gpen #profile #whalewatching #barharborwhales #barharbor

Tonight, my pencil is a chisel, slowly revealing the idea and the composition that hid behind the initial random lines of this drawing.

Love – it ain't promised and it may not come back.

Orange margaritas helped this student convince her friends that she was NOT an artist.
