Day 18 or 5.26.25

Obviously I’ve made a lot of ink paintings, but I’m trying to integrate some of the things I studied last week and see if I can replicate any of the techniques. I’m not at all sure of what I’m doing, but that’s okay. As a human, I have crazy capacity for play, so I do. I play and just when I think I’ve made a real ugly mess something emerges.

I wish I had a little more intention for this painting, but the truth is I just started painting. I might not show it to anyone if it weren’t for this marathon, but I signed up for this and so did you!

And if you want to know about the ants…today I disturbed a bunch of them. I observed them throughout the day. I want to let you in on a little secret. They look busy and officious, like they know what they’re doing by communicating with their antennae and such, but I watched them carry larvae in one direction and other ants carry larvae in the exact opposite direction back to where the other ants came from!

No one knows what they’re doing! I’m in good company today.
