Musings: I'm curious about how stuff works and write in pursuit of clarity.
Amusements: Funny, feeble, and farfetched stuff.
My Weblog: I use this weblog for transient topics. (Essays on the rest of the site are for stuff that I've been developing gradually.)
"Myriadicity": I like depth but sometimes need to widen my focus, notice more of what's around. I use "myriadicity" to refer to the myriad and sometimes overwhelming facets, layers, details, and compositions to notice, around and within.

Pastel Explorations: I've come to love the vibrant depth of chalk pastels. Here are a few favorites. I drew them by hand, mostly using NuPastels on various kinds of paper. I will mention when I also applied simple digital effects like contrast exaggeration.to produce the final image.
Partings Collage: Gathering with friends at the home of one who had been doing collage for years, we spent an evening creating our own collages. I came up with this collage informed by sadness, having recently parted from a several-year romantic relationship.
Learning Figure Drawing: Some pastel or pencil sketches from my venture into figure drawing via a 2005 five day class.
Inkscape Experimentation: Experiments using a free structured-graphics drawing tool, Inkscape .

When it comes to visual art I used to be just an eager spectator. Over years of dabbling – doodling and playing with colors, particularly chalk pastels, I eventually have been surprised to make some that I really like. I'm glad to share it!

(The use of art for personal reflection in Authentic Movement practice helped to strengthen my explorations.)
