Reduction linocut. Image was originally drawn from one of my Instagram photos. I’m looking forward to May and the possibility of seeing this Dwarf Arctic iris in bloom again.

It has been ages since I’ve sat down consecutively, thoughtfully and drawn. One can see in the results of the images here that skills are uncertain and drawing is about learning to draw again. I now think that’s fine – to continue to pick something up that makes one feel familiar and grounded. It’s been a pleasure and challenge to work at drawing these and a theme I think I can continue working at for awhile longer. Presently, my goal is reacquainting myself with the pleasure of process over perfection of form.

Something’s going on with my breathing. Too long to be a cold, two doctors say I’m not contagious. Two more weeks until a breathing test. Trying to relax. Took a photo of a gifted amaryllis instead. Amaryllis ‘Papillio.’
