Just the Art (part 4)

Doodling while stuck in bed

I have amassed far too much of my art for my own liking (and there’s more art at “Just the Art” parts one, two, and three). Please take it off my hands! I’ll make sure to mark the captions with SOLD or GIVEN AWAY when a piece is no longer available.

Please consider paying what you want, what you can afford, or, if possible, what you think it’s worth. I ain’t picky.

There were originally nine in this “Leftie-Rightie” series, all of which you can see in this quick video (set to my own music):

I created these during the Covid lockdown in April of 2020. I also happened to be on bedrest with a baby who was too eager to emerge. There are only so many episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation a gal can watch, you know? So I picked up a pencil with my left hand and doodled ideas (with the conceit to cover the whole page), then I colored them with my right hand.

They’re each 9” x 12” and here’s what I’d like to offload:

No. 1

No. 2

No. 6

No. 7 (SOLD)

No. 8

No. 9

Number 3, 4, and 5 were bought by a sweet family for their new house.

(If you ever want a digital version (file or printed) of anything I’ve made, that’s do-able, too.)

As for more recent art, at the end of July (2024), I was on an incredible little motorcycle ride along River Rd. when… you guessed it: I got in an accident. A very mild T-boning. I was already slowing down and had angled toward the grass, but the fella clipped me and I slid onto my left side with my left leg under the bike.

A bit of road rash and a ton of deep, deep bruising, but nothing more.

Still, it was hard to walk for several days, so I sat, icing my leg, and I revisited the cover-the-entire-page idea. This time, however, on much larger paper (19” x 25”).

Here they are in chronological order:

Picked some random colors from my kids’ oil pastel box and blah-blahed allover the page

Tried some ancient family pastels (great grandpa’s?) and set out with a bit more intention

Decided to try the wide side of the pastel, rather than the tip, and returned to my pattern-making roots. I picked these colors at random and came to really dig ‘em!

New set of colors to explore the side-of-the-pastel pattern idea

And, finally, back to good ol’ pen and ink. Absolutely exhausting amount of detail. Had to take many, many breaks. Probably my favorite, though.

So, there ya go! Some stuff I’d like to get rid of.

Cheers!
