🕯 Intuitive Art
🕯 Haunted by scribbles
🕯 Friendly ghosts
It's #intuitober Day 7 and #wordlesswednesday. I thought I'd show you the scribbles I've gotten so far as well as the scribble for today's prompt: Eyes. I try not to take the prompt so literally, but it's hard not to with a prompt like this one 😅

Anyone else joining in this year?

Some pics from today's booth. All of these will be up on my Etsy tomorrow for those of you who are in other places of the world but still want a ghost.

Except Poe 🙃 he's not for sale. He's my tagalong for every event.

A migraine on Friday and spending most of yesterday in the hospital (I'm okay!) means all of the things I needed to get done before today are being hurried through this morning 😅 If you are in the JCMO area I hope you'll come to Porchfest to see all the amazing artists, entertainers, and musicians.

🕯️Gouache ghosts have begun to haunt my Etsy shop. If you'd like to nab one up before it's sold at the upcoming event, they're ready and waiting to haunt their forever home.

🕯️Each of them comes fitted to a black 8x10 mat so you can get them framed ASAP.

Scribble Chess!

Working on a chess set that I hope will be ready for the upcoming art event in our city.

All of the pieces are shaped the same, but they each have their own little intuitive design.

I finished all of my little landscapes from the huge grid I started yesterday. These will be matted soon and then sold on my Etsy and at local events.

Can intuitive art be representational? I personally think that, yes, it can be representational. Sometimes it was always meant to be that way, and sometimes we can't force our scribbles to look like anything at all 🤷‍♀️

If it looks like a duck, can it go ahead and be a duck?

A group of frogs is called a knot, a chorus, or an army.

I personally think a group of frogs should be called a cricket.

Also, Bulbasaur is a frog with a flower bulb on his back. You'll never convince me otherwise.

What makes art honest? Could you hang your art in your own home? And what does taste have to do with any of this? Let’s chat!

Lots of love to @andyjpizza.bsky.social who still finds a way to haunt my existential crises with his wisdom.

This is a little handmade watercolor sketchbook I made a few years ago with my favorite paper. It quickly became a "landscape experiment" book with watercolors, inks, and gouache. Still my favorite sketchbook to peruse for inspiration sometimes.

I miss making art like this! On my way to get some supplies 😁

These were all created with watercolor and Ink on cotton cold press or rag paper. I also used various things like salt to get starry textures.

My favorite medium to experiment with has always been watercolor. You can do so many amazing things with it, and even then it still surprises you every time. I love the delicious way colors bleed together, granulate, bloom...I could go on and on...

Cyanotype-Printing friends: what have you found is the best chemistry to get black and white and not sepia? Research has been fruitless.

I do use white vinegar and washing soda but the tannins usually turn it brown. I've used black, green, and herbal teas.

I love photographing trees 🪾 especially bare trees with lots of fractals reminiscent of the roots beneath the tree, navigating through the earth. ☯️
