I try to stay active by sketching.  My drawings are always so flattened.   Different tape worms squirming around each other. Some kind of fabric or pattern? Anxiety. Also this.

I started a new series of abstract paintings using this technique where I create color charts then use the paint left over on the palette paper to collage an expressionistic landscape.  When I peel them off the paper it creates surprising shapes. This piece is mostly finished.  I think it's an underwater scene with plenty of interaction between species and plants and possibly trash. The underpainting. Palette paper. Color charts. Canvas from Goodwill and 1 can of spray paint = $26. Color charts, palette paper and collage scrap book. Greedy sperm.

I fortuitously acquired a sewing machine during quarantine in order to make masks and do mending, etc.  I have been saving old pants that I outgrow or blow out (thank you, thunder thighs) so I transformed them into blankets perfectly sized for the lap.  I think my second attempt is much better: Multiple lap warmers. This one is primarily denim with some fabric as a "frame" The other side has this cozy fabric with a cool pattern. My first attempt is laughable, basically sewing together random leggings. Perfectly natural shape. Oh brother. En action!
