Water Colors

Here are some water color field studies I have been working on lately. My plan is to keep on with these until the snow flies again. The objective I am exploring is -  
- How light and color, work to define form. 
I started this run at the beginning of April, that delicious time of year before any growth has been initiated, and the strains of the weight are still worn by the world -

when everything 

is tight rust skin 

barbed with broken

black still sleeping

spokes of light 

and a little more

all the time -

A Thousand Words

Well you know -
- a picture says 'a thousand words'  - so . . . . .

WATCHED

' - OH , how I ride here -

the empty canyons as

wide as death -

- OH , know that I come -

all hungers hasten me -

-  OH , see this mask - 
amongst all things -

with dawn -
with dusk -
I draw ever closer ; 
 

Yon weapons are nothing,

compared to this heart . . . '

TORN APART

In some future time. In some future place - Marl Parson, one of the last handful of survivors of the 'Deep Wars' - also known as the ' North Atlantic Undersea Deep Trench Aggression of 22 - 29 ', sits and reflects. Silently remembering the hideousness - the reeling slideshow of oblivion, the inexplicable and overwhelming terror of that horrible deep, green - black war.  

Remembering . . . . . 

The cold vault of dark pressure  . . . .  

where you're never sure . . .

 

New Sketch Book Work

Alright - here's a whack of new stuff from my sketch book. I've been having fun using that Sable Hair brush I was telling you about ( see - ' Blaster Boy ' ) and also playing with colored inks, water colors and Gouache. And some improvised tools for inking.  Just letting it roll.

Yep. That and watching for black helicopters.

O.K. - 

I was cleaning up ( Ha ! ) and found my 'small' black sketch book that I had TOTALLY forgotten about. ( I have a lot of these things flying around here in the ' Lab ' - you know ! ) Anyhow - the work is of the same period as the work already posted under this heading. All of the additional work, except for the first two images, exist in the small book. 

So - WOW -  more weird stuff to ruin your sleep  ~
