Wordle: FLAIL and STAGE plus dreams.

Arabian Nights, Apple and Great Blue Heron

wordle: NINTH (Arabian Nights Ninth Night) and Great Blue Heron
Wordle: NINTH (Arabian Nights Ninth Night) and Great Blue Heron

For Wordle: NINTH, I chose the ninth story from A Thousand and One Arabian Nights. In that story a porter follows the lady of the house through the marketplace and carries all the goods she purchased (which I drew, above). No shopping carts in those days, I guess.

I didn’t remember any dreams so I painted the beautiful Great Blue Heron I saw at Point Isabel today.

I was so happy with the first page and so unhappy with the second one. I spent a lot of time on the drawing of the complicated apple slices in the slicer and then totally messed up the painting. I tried to “fix” it but on Hobonichi Tomoe River paper you really have to get the painting in one shot. Fixing rarely works.

A Week in My Journal: Wordles and Dreams

Wordle: ELUDE and Dreams: Coyote Ranch

Today I’m including a week of journal pages to (try to) catch up. You can click twice on any image for a larger version. My favorite funny dream stories are on the last page below.

Wordles: MATEY and ELUDE and dream of a coyote podcast and ranch

Above, left: Wordle was MATEY. I drew an obituary photo for a Ms. Doris Matey and an “Ahoy Matey Dahlia.”

Dreams that day:

  1. A guy took my spot at a shared art studio
  2. Shopping for a water brush in an old car repair garage
  3. My sister and my niece looking like each other

Above, right: Wordle was ELUDE so I drew a kitty eluding capture.

Dream: two guys had a podcast about coyotes at their coyote ranch (and some other stuff I didn’t draw–zoom in on text in photo if you care).
