The clouds are out, but behind them is a full super flower blood moon that is about to be eclipsed. Epic! This painting and a blog post about the meaning behind the moon for me, is available on my website. InkyMoon.ca
What does the moon mean to you?

Dad's axe is where he left it 💗.

New blog post on my website today. I wasn't able to get new art done for the full worm moon, and that's okay! For the first time in about 20 years, I wrote an art proposal. This work is about my dad. So let's celebrate him and the spring equinox, also known as Ostara, a celebration of new beginnings.

What new beginnings have you planned for spring?

Tying up loose ends, motivation created by action,

Tying up loose ends, motivation created by action, channeling some bizarre energy from past self and finding power in it. Both of these paintings I started about a year or so ago. The brain stemmed from my dad's stroke, the snail arrived today and I mostly used my own inks, except the gold and dark blue (1&2), which are probably Beam Paints. I always think I will remember what I used, but the brain has other ideas.

This is a model of a larger idea, a premonition of power to come. Power is in the hand, the made, nature, creativity, in art as a simple act of rebellion. I made the paper with rejected art, 'sized' with egg whites and vinegar from my hen friends, using my own cochineal, copper, carbon and weld inks. It started with some spilled carbon black, and it was fun and spontaneous. Satisfying all round.

I actually have the 2nd image backwards ... tartaric acid changed it back to red, not purple. I predicted I would mess that up lol!
.
There's chemistry between us. The movement of colour, a seductive dance, flush of red, purple pulse, a fantasy made real. They sit here now, whispering with deep potential, to be cast on paper, funneled through an idea, a birth canal of the universe.
.
I had to laugh at myself for the birth canal bit 🤣 I am really into this stuff.

Working with Weld and Indigo @maiwaschooloftextiles
The fusion of science and art, math and play, thrills me and ignites that excitement I had for life when I was younger. I had somehow forgotten what I loved about science, that romantic magic, chemistry of making things happen, seeing things small and the bigger picture, all at once.

What a strong, big heart. What a big love we've lost today. Nothing like the unconditional, undying love and loyalty of a pet. Such a good dog. I thanked him for all he was to us. Bye bye Bud Bud.
