9×12″ Pen & Ink, watercolor, Neocolor and wax crayons.The crayons were an accident, when I grabbed a Crayola thinking it was Neocolor–and realized my mistake when I tried to wash over it. But the way the texture of the Arches cold press caught the wax crayon pleased me–so I went with it!

It’s Cezanne I keep coming back to… like for all he was taken up and accelerated into new ways of seeing… there’s more there. I come back to it–and move away. and come back. Probly can’t see the connections in my stuff. But it’s there. Like Cubism was one direction… but there’s another directions possible. I try to find it. Keep trying to find it.

That time again… day 35 coming to an end. Five weeks of this… mask-a-raid. Anti-Carnival. Whose Tweet went viral when he coughed. Left without a leg to stand on.
