6. The Squatters Residency: a friendly beast comes to life in my little drawing

Finished today are a couple more little drawings.  One of these had me imagining the rug on the cupboard, a friendly beast, through the lit door frame view. The other of these had me move into the emptiness of the spare studio/room where the light falls softly through the draped curtain.  The characters on the ceiling of this room are a great match for the walls.  Looking up is kind of like cloud watching with character forms gaining life in the imagination.  I have stories that go with them -like that of the shy bilby-eared naked-turtle.
 
Along with my now regular health retreat number, I walked with a lovely local in The Portland Common – a 650-acre woodland where birdlife abounds. Thinking of it, I thought too of the walk with fellow artist residents, from my camac residency in France, where the forest up the hill held an old oak, hundreds of years old.  There, the quiet was peppered with pops for it was hunting season.  Here the birds make constant conversation.
