good light today

The light this afternoon was really interesting. Deep in my natural human self, I sense that it's autumn's light and I want to go outside. But I've been photographing paintings and after, got caught up in the play of light on things inside, especially some older (and probably dusty) art. Thought you'd like seeing these pieces, some of the few that I've kept that you may not have seen.

Below are paintings, resting after being photographed.

The light's low now, will set behind the mountains soon.

Steampunk Mary as she exits. She'll be on her way to her new home tomorrow.

August's Window (the small wunderkammer with the big feet) is new.

I really liked the light here. This poppet has a real rat's skull and a bee posed on a ring.

Soosi insists that Orion is a cat.

"Change of Heart" is a very early sculpture, all in polymer clay on armature.

"Here Comes Santa Claus" was used to illustrate "The Price", the Neil Gaiman story about a cat who defends his human family. The doll has lost half of her pencil. It's on the list. Right, that list. Eventually, this became a drawing, then a painting. When I excavate those, I may make prints.

Enter the Human Element, somewhere around 1993.

Bunny Visits the Edge of Flatland.

Soup Topography. About 5 feet wide.

Around to the edge.

Mob rules. Many, many Poppets, indeed.

The light faded fast. By December, it will be full dark at 4:30. Not today though. It's November. Have a good weekend.
