"P" Archeologist

“P” Archeologist

This morning with the Independent Painters Group “P” posed in his archeologist clothing. He actually does dig up bones and things. I sketched him doing so last February. Early this week I did some ink quickie sketches of him. Today it was nice to spend a whole session painting his portrait.

18”x 24” watercolor on cold press

With Children

With Children

I resist the crowd now

I notice

When I am surrounded

When escape is difficult

I embraced the crowd then

I noticed

When for the children

Abundant space emerged

I remember the crowd now

I notice

When need to flee looms

When left again alone

Sketched in some corner avoiding the crowd

3.5”x 6” fountain pen

A meeting with those who disappeared

Islands off Solitude

The painting is loosely based on a doodle sketch posted last June, back when the story was still determining where it was.
