prespring considerings

February 9, 2023 by jude

More to say about this… My sense of spring has taken hold. It’s a need for change. Yesterday I cleaned the living room studio. Yesterday, I received over 100 emails in response to the Forever Zone Newsletter. I will read them today. After I read them, I will decide what to do tomorrow. Meanwhile, I did work a little bit on paper before sunrise. And there they are again, new eyes, even on this cloudy day. They look good […]

SUN DAY

February 5, 2023 by jude

Look at all those new eyes. I just spent a few minutes considering how long might it take to use up a pencil? I think I have had this one since grade school.

I think I see you and you think you can see me

January 9, 2023 by jude

A painted dot. Actually this is an old one. Painting that is. Cropped to make a dot. A dot can bring focus. Make more of a point. And it’s looking at you as if to say, well everything you need to hear. Which, of course, you can already say to yourself. You don’t need me for that.

I slept through

November 24, 2022 by jude

Maybe the puzzle piece was knowing that waking might be useful. Not fighting it. Conflict is disruptive. Not the ears of Soul-o, the wings of some plastic creature I found in the ground at the old place. Winter’s sky is forming. Baskets of scraps , now piles of paper…

ONE cold and dreary day

November 19, 2022 by jude

Yesterday, simply asking myself a lot of questions. Today trying to answer them. But I think answers don’t apply for very long really. Things are always changing. And I, we, are only human and answers, there aren’t any really. Questions are prompts for considering, and answers , well what if they are just coffee breaks ? Just Sweeping. This morning I asked myself, ” …did you have a good sweep?” And what will my future be? What comes next.

Never Be Too Sure

November 9, 2022 by jude

Yes. Another post. To see if I can. I think maybe I am going to take a stand. I am going to be who I am, here, without worry. After all, it seems worry has taken over and I don’t have time really, anymore. It can be ok. Just putting what I can here, and if I can’t, well, you can just know it is because I can’t. Sometimes it is like that, in fact that’s just life. I have […]

Small Paper

October 17, 2022 by jude

So, how it just is sometimes, when you wake up and you can’t seem to breath because you are allergic to something and nobody seems to know what, and it’s raining and you forgot to take the quilt off the clothesline and it’s still dark so you just leave it. And you think who am I? That big question in such a small moment. And you think, well, I am small. And you make a small stray self, not […]

The silence

October 7, 2022 by jude

Yesterday , I met her again. An old wordless self that could sit for hours with paper and just go. The before blogging self that drew almost every day, just for my Self. the one that could make any moment a picture.

the many

October 5, 2022 by jude

Selves. I did most of my illustration work (on paper) back in the 70s. I have said that before but how long ago that actually is now. This one is rather realistic. Like a person. Ha! I can say it looks like me then, with my wild hair. Drawn from a photo my brother took, I should find that. Some where in NYC. I remember I was wearing a handwoven vest and my grandmother’s old fur coat. What a time. […]
