The Spider The hand and The Flower

the expnensive crayons got wasted

so there were new crayons and then it got all messy somehow, and then red ink got poured on the drawing and it hasnt dried yet and the crayons are wasted now cos the ink doesnt cost a lot of money and it's drowned the crayons.

the drawings retreat

the wall, on the way

except its not finished yet

unfinished drawing

So the wall started off cream which doesn’t make any sense at all considering the colours. Then it turned yellow, to start with, because hopefully, the warmness would be a good start, but, it was kind of the same, so bits of red and orange got joined to the yellow, so that it could be more sort of shimmering and moving. So that was cool. Then pictures wanted to be there. First some birds, but they flew away. Then an elephant, elephants are heavy, but it walked away. Then a kind of wooden sculpture figure, like a mask, but not just the face, also the rest, like the ones you’d find on the side of the road in Africa, and it would be sort of abstract and so old and it would have taken so long to make, so it would know how to be.
But it went away. It probably didn’t like where it was, even with the yellow.
It had jewels for eyes and dark etched wood that was stained from time and it was still and listening and you couldn’t really tell which bits were made from a chisel, and which bits just were. So instead this is what appeared, another happy picture arrived, and it seems to want to stay even though I gave it an aeroplane. It even has 4 hands for some reason. Maybe I could bring back the cream paint. but that probably won’t happen; the picture would get in the way, once its there.
And then, again, it’s not really something people would like to have painted on their walls either. So it can stay where it is, for now. Maybe tomorrow I’ll paint some dragonflies, for the picture.

the drawn over drawing

this seems to be finished now, but its likely that it might not bewhich is usual these days. its 3 bits of paper stuck together that means it made itself into sections in the begining sort of. even though its tried to not be 3. shining light on to it changes it quite a bit. it seems more peaceful in the night. and then, i have no idea what its about except that its a collection of stuff made of lots of layers. its most probably over worked, as can be seen by the fact that it got turned upside down towards the end.

the returning memory

except that its not clear what it means, i didnt decide how to draw it, but it seems to be about memory, sort of, maybe. and it also doesnt look nice on a wall and wouldnt match the curtains

a picture linked to deciding i think

the feet. where they come from and where they land

its now made. if its a he, he could be called pater, or, it could be called 'Mater and Pater' , perhaps. Really it should be called Pater Familius, but then that would be like having Pater Familius, as he is known, around, like here. so it is without a name.
