Sketchbook play at the beach.... nope I could not leave the art supplies at home! Hoping to find a good mark-making shell today. Hoping also to not worry about much more than that 💭 // #beach #minibreak #AbstractArt #sketchbook #play

Okay I lied. Again. Fr fr now this is the last art post before the beach. Another micro poem / collage. Thanks so much to @greenleavesalongtheboulevards for hosting the Crip Arts Gathering for chronically ill, disabled, and neurodivergent crafters. Too shy to unmute as of yet, but this is truly a sacred space you have created. // #AbstractArt #collage #MixedMedia #PoetsOfInstagram #PoetryCommunity

Okay fr this is my last art post before the beach. A teaser for something I didn't intend to finish before next week but I can't stay away from the paint and adhesives 😜// #collage #MixedMedia #CutAndPaste #AbstractArt

Introducing, “the ocean called.” The ocean didn’t really call me until I did the word jar “divination” and then it wouldn’t leave my mind alone. So I added the light blue after I got “the ocean called.” I think it features nicely against the red violet and green gold. Little things are all I can offer right now. Frazzled, getting ready for travel. What if back spasms, etc. This is probably the last art post before I leave. Hopefully there will be some beach pics to change my feed up 🌊 I’m taking some poems to revise… we’ll see how that will go. Yes, I always take work on vacation but usually it’s creative stuff. I am a passenger for a seven-hour car ride. I thought about taking art supplies but don’t want to make our nice room messy. Will I regret this? Should I take them? I told @thoughtformmax I needed to be able to fit them in a coffee mug. A handful of oil pastels, three posca pens, a nice micron pen or similar. A rag for blending. Would love to take ink and bamboo pen. Maybe two rags. Has anyone reading this taken art supplies on the road? Would love to hear your experiences! What did you take? How did it go? // #AbstractArt #collage #MixedMedia #PoetsOfInstagram

Introducing another one-word poem. “Fold.” As noun, verb, command. A bright colorful psychedelic swirl belies the fact that I am still in the 🕳️ [void]. I can't believe it's beach time soon. Can I pack any of my art supplies? Hiking pants still fit me, grateful. Swimming gear too.. It feels surreal. I’ve never taken my 🕳️ [void] mind to the beach before. I wonder what will happen. Maybe a break in the bleakness. For me the ocean has healed many a spiritual wound. What can it do if anything about this ongoing silent scream..... // #AbstractArt #ArtistsOfInstagram #PoetsOfInstagram #PoetryCommunity #depression

The 🕳️ is sapping all my will but also here are things I found in my front “yard” (short steep grassy outcropping). Buttercups, dandelions, and wild strawberries no bigger than my pinky nail. Google informs me that they may be “mock strawberries” fcking AI trying to always kill my buzz // #flora #SpringTime #Pittsburgh #depression

Introducing “all that greeny energy.” I’m still in the 🕳️. I’m painting these to make myself feel better or at least differently. The parts of me that are 🌿🍃🌱 are trying… // #collage #MixedMedia #AbstractArt #ArtistComunity #PoetsOfInstagram

Introducing “red utterance” little and big. Trying to let the simplicity of some lines just lie there and signify. // #AbstractArt #PoetryCommunity #ArtistsOfInstagram #PoetsOfInstagram #ArtistComunity

I couldn’t let #WorldCollageDay happen without putting up some one-word poems. Here is “unearthly” and “velvet.” Happy cutting and pasting forevermore! // #collage #MixedMedia #AbstractArt #PoetryCommunity
