GreenGrote

Daily doodle. I added some color to the last drawing while dealing with a fibro flare up and brain fog.

Another doodle

Doodle of the day. Finishing up the black ink background on this drawing gave me an idea for a larger sketch.

A rough draft for a larger drawing that I'm thinking about making. This is based on a painting that I made for my mom decades ago.

My hand tremors aren't as bad as they were a few years ago. Before my tremors got really bad, I used to draw, paint, and play music all the time. The tremors took that away from me. Which sucked like hell!

Over the last year my hand tremors have been decreasing in frequency and intensity. Which is nice. So, I'm freeing my soul by trying to make more 2D artwork again.

I don't know what I'll do with the finished pieces. I might sell them, I might give them away. I might just recycle the paper. This piece I will probably throw away. It was fun to make, but it's not an amazing piece.

Anyway, here's my weird duck. I left the eyes white, like a void, or like static like when brain fog hits.

My original concept was to animate this image using flipaclip. I was having problems getting the app to upload the music and editing was being wonky. So in the meantime here is the general idea. I used Gemini and Suno. I prompted Gemini to create this image for me. Then I edited it in Pickmonkey. I wanted to add some music to it, so I wrote a prompt and used Suno to create music for it. It took me a couple of times to get the results that I was looking for.

Starting a new project: A triangular loom knitted shawl. This one is another Northern Lights inspired piece. I feel like this piece will come together quickly.
