So Long

So Long

And yes,

the hair 

continues 

to grow.

 

Sketching family. She granted to a couple of quick poses in these isolated times.

With a serious look. 

Right there. 

 

Daily sketching in these days of isolation. She was right there posing on my laptop screen.

Lingering

Lingering

Waiting for just one, 

maybe two of the lies 

wrapped in promises.  

A little more time, 

and then of course,

some more.

Pretending isn’t even 

really pretending 

when it’s what you do.

How to Disappear

How to Disappear

Easier than expected 

as the lines and colors go down. 

Easier too before the blues 

become more than colors too. 

 

Doodling with a purpose, but no reference, other than faded memories of places to disappear. 

9”x 7” ink and watercolors on matt board scraps.

Vacant

Only a vacant mist 

appears to be stirring.

Blurred Conversations

Blurred Conversations 

Fearful in places 

once shared. 

Pretending. 

Being exception 

yet unable 

to reveal. 

 

Doodling without a reference. An imaginary outing in an isolated world.

Back in the crowd

Back in the Crowd

 

Picked a lost face 

with a lot of 

other faces. 

A little more 

attention.

There will be 

implications for 

what wasn’t done.
