I Push And Pull...

In my life, I push and I pull, but only with myself.  That is what I see, when I look at this old doodle of mine which I recently found in one of my notebooks...

My New Painting

I hadn't painted in a while, but I created this over the past few days.  It is titled 'Ancient #1'.

Scribble I Scribbled

A recent staff meeting scribble... 

A Portrait Of Me In (Way) Younger Days

My previous post showed X-rays of my teeth, from age 16 - 19. Sometime during that same period I flew over to Switzerland to visit my brother Richard and his wife Lilia. Lilia had me sit for a portrait while I was there. I've had it all these years, and it just occurred to me I should photograph it and post it here on my blog.   Anyway, here it is. Sadly, it has been folded up for many years, and you can see that, but still, the photo came out pretty well. 

Grumpy (with headache)

I began my day in a good mood, but after a few hours in a meeting at work I was grumpy and had a headache.  I drew these as I waited for the meeting to end.

The Kiss

This drawing was done in staff meeting last week. 

Storm Coming (another staff meeting doodle)

Under The Storm Cloud

The image above was something I doodled during a staff meeting at work a few months ago... Due to my weird schedule, I often am not able to get enough sleep before having to go to staff meetings. I'm guessing this image was drawn on one of those low energy mornings.

Llama Boy #1

While I drew this in a pleasant and relaxed mood, just a couple of days ago, when I showed it to a friend she said it looked freaked out, like a 'deer in the headlights'. Odd... is it showing some energy I am holding below the surface? I don't know. It looks sad, or worried, to me now. There will be more 'Llama Boy' drawings coming later... perhaps they will look more at peace. (I say, as I take a deep, soothing, clearing breath... breath... breath...)

The Return

This is the painting I finished tonight. Enjoy!

Cat looking Out Window

Doodle from Wednesday night's meeting at work:

Early Past Life Memory?

An older doodle drawn in staff meeting a few years ago, which I just happened upon:

Sailor Pig

This was something I drew during a staff meeting at work a couple of weeks ago. I think he must come from a past incarnation of mine where I was a sailor (or a pig?) . . .

Strange Days

It's strange on Planet Earth these days. This image reflects how some days are feeling to me lately. Maybe you too can relate to this?

Ifni Aspect

Below is my latest painting. It's in honor of an affinity I've felt for the name of a little coastal town in Morocco, ever since I first saw it on my father's world globe. I would return to it over and over, and got pleasure just saying the name: Ifni. The town is Sidi Ifni, Morocco. Though when I saw it as a young child on the globe, it would still have been a territory of Spain, as it was until 1969. I've always carried that name with me, and remembered it with great fondness.

It came up again recently when my pal MaLu asked: if I were to have triplets, all girls, what would I name them? One name I chose was Ifni. I'd forgotten where exactly where it was, just remembering, from childhood, that it was on the African continent. Last night, for the first time, I looked it up, learned where exactly it is, and a little of it's history. What is my connection to this place? I don't know, perhaps I had a past life incarnation there... Anyway, after reading up on Ifni, this painting was created:
