Forty-six: “Its about time II” I couldn’t help but name this one a name I already used. I laid down some ink and an army troop showed up, as well as a daring angel who was flying by and scooping up the death and hatred from the war. The Divine Feminine appears above the angel and a rocket appeared to the right of the troop. Miro says, “All of the information is there we are just the conduit to show it.” Here I feel like a full conduit. I picked up the inky canvas as I have done many times to move it so I could start another. It ran, WILDLY! I went with it rolling the ink like I did when I was first using ink 16 years before. It changed the image a bit but I can still see shreds of the before very recognizable images and the rolling ink naturally created a vanishing point.

Forty-seven: “Whispers” Somehow this seems like a very girlie and sneaky divine title, neither of those I am. Maybe it is named incorrectly? I wanted to name it “Out of the swamps” but when I saw the image on the computer it looked like the forms are floating up and are light.

Forty-eight: “Tracking Intersection” My friend Rich W. uses the word tracking, in response to if he’s tracking what I’m saying. He’s nice in that he doesn’t roll his eyes and cup his forehead with his hands while saying “You creatives are too much.” So my idea is that creatives and logicals only need to sync up on the grid where our lines meet.

Forty-nine: “Wild Flowers” I love this image. It is so free and it turned out great!

Fifty: “Still looking for something outside of ourselves” This is about a Native Peoples prediction that once a human went to the moon the earth will really suffer and the people of the land will isolate and become in a sense self destructive. I sat waiting for the content for this image to come. I saw one form and made it not trusting I would know the next form but right away I could see it. Perhaps to the left we have a rocket and to the right we have a planet or moon with stars beneath. What we are looking for is within us. I question if it is sensible to push “forward” In our extreme curiosity, spending oodles of money when there are people who need to eat and have other simple needs for their survival. I really don’t know but I wonder if we went to the moon not out of curiosity but out of fear.

Forty-one: “Beheld” This title is a play on words. To “behold” something has some level of awe. To “Be held” is about being loved and accepted. I like the eye in the image, that there also is vision in this image too. The forms that arc above the eye truly looked like angels when I set the ink down. I worked at bringing their forms out more fully. I like the metaphor that things are looking out for us and they take shape in whatever or however we need. It is what is unseen that I want to show, to expose it for its truth that we are not who we think we are. Shifting from proof to feeling is a coming necessary movement. With or without eyes we can see in a way we never activated or “realized” (saw with real eyes).

Forty-two: “The trees from another place” Using a hand sized rubber scrapper I pushed out the wide lines, creating the tree trunks. Then I blew the tops of the trees. Then I over-laid ink to create more contrast.

Forty-three: “Circus” Ink base on canvas with oil paint overlay. The colors move over the canvas inviting our eyes to play and dance about the forms that bubble out of the greater image. The dynamic colors and strokes suggest the risks taken at the circus, a flashy event bigger than humans or animals. In this image I see an elephant whose has a trunk lower than the canvas. Its eyes are strikes of brown parallel to one another and centered on the canvas. Find your own circus experience in this image.

Forty-four: “Music Vibration” I can’t help but say this has something to do with me Thinking about my sister Katie. She is through and through a musician, like our father she can make fun happen out of thin air! She can become in an instant a one person band and her nature draws others in effortlessly, they can’t help but want to be a part of what Katie creates. The more serious side of this image is that we know certain things about music but as I show here, where the vibration gets really expressive, our factual proof ceases and our “knowing” take over. Music has more power than we know and its vibration is timeless and more expansive than we comprehend.

Forty-five: “Sunflower” This image is simple and I don’t feel needs explanation.

Thirty-six: “Blooming” The aggressive growth of spring. We can all relate to those times where everything aligns without effort. Its spontaneity and youthful vibrancy is apparent, “alive with movement”.

Thirty-seven: “The man in front of the museum” I saw this young guy who was walking in front of the science museum. The image of him stuck in my head. This is nothing like he looks but it almost is exactly who he is. He seemed scared and aged for the young man he is. Smoking recklessly, shoulders hunched, a large man, I feel I found who is inside.

Thirty-eight: “Mother Earth, what’s she worth?” All of the ink was placed and blown for this image. Her parts individually are lovely. Her whole is a little distressing. Her mouth is fragmented, her voice compromised.

Thirty-nine: “Connectivity” This image was really fun to create, especially swirling the ink while blowing through a straw. This one took shape without thought. Even the ink placement seems to have naturally created a strong composition. The canvas I’m using periodically leaves a line in the art. This appears on an earlier canvas and I tried to cover it but it still shows up. I am accepting this as part of the art.

Forty: “And the musician plays on” There is a musician down in the lower right-hand corner. What grows out of their expression is vast. Calm with no regard for any praise, just playing for the sake of self-expression and play.

Thirty-one: “Overgrowth” I layered the inks, creating contrast. My brother in law once shared what he’s learned from a documentary, “If humans were no longer around, within three years the forest would take over”. The forest would hide homes, hide our life, silently decomposing our lifestyle and creating it all anew. This is the perfect example of the masculine and feminine in balance. The man destructs and the woman, creates new life.

Thirty-two: “This one grew alone” We are never alone. Although currently among people opening to awakening, there is a belief that unlike prior generations now healing needs to occur in the daily life vs. spending time in solitude. In this image it is a tribute to all who walk it alone among life full-blast and find their footing carefully at times on the edge of the cliff. Inspired results come from doing this work.

Thirty-three: “Five” This image is personal. It is a message in the wake of my dad’s passing. It represents his five children, my four siblings and me. Each tree could be any of us. Today I could be this one and tomorrow another. As siblings in any family we overlap. We reject in each other what we reject about ourselves. A friend told me in her family the each person is good at something different and this skill was always highlighted and shared with the other siblings. I love this and her parents for Knowing what they know.

Thirty-four “Metamorphosis” The ink arcs started out to look like diving forms. I pushed them further and they unfolded into these natural, growing forms. Could be a vine or a jellyfish. What I like is that the original ink arcs transformed melding into disguise in our natural world.

Thirty-five: “Spiritual Overlay” One of my teachers, Collin Tipping talks about spiritual overlay. I feel it is when you are ‘trying to look the part’ pretending or thinking you are taking the high road but instead avoid your own inner conflicts. This image illustrates that sentence, saying that when we force things to be a certain way we miss the spiritual experience, the peace, freedom and naturalness within it. We instead end in feeling a sense of lack vs. constructive and timely, natural growth and most importantly love.

Twenty-six: “Double Voice” The balance of finding our power through voice. Observing when we react and shifting that to action instead.

Twenty-seven: “Reseeding” Sending out intention, our preferences. Such a simple task yet many struggle to do this. We act as “who we are supposed” to be instead of “who we really are.” The many taboos and societal rules guide us instead of our feelings and heart.

Twenty-eight: “Forest Harmony” We could mirror the trees, being well rooted while also trusting the process to support our growth without concern of who’s shade we’re in or who has created space for and nourished us. I chose a specific ink medium for this because it moves well leaving great contrast in the image.

Twenty-nine: “The Shape of Nature” This is an image that came earlier but got into the shuffle so it will be #29. When I look at it I see a spine. I love the soft leaf forms that evolved on the canvas meshed with pod or berry-like structures. My mom has always loved dried prairie, lets face it, weeds. She and my dad went to great lengths to find, cut and bring these delicate creatures to their home. Seeing these free earth visual treats all my life, perhaps its in me to recreate them.

Thirty: “Wind in the Tree” I wanted to create movement in the image and thought of doing it with a tree. Trees need wind to grow strong, so do people. The trees allow this, people resist it, sheltering themselves.
