The Vampire Pirate starts to emerge



.... and already my ex John is asking me if he can buy my painting and it’s nowhere near done

far from fully painted










far from fully painted or even outlined; I obsess about details and paint all over at once



31 December 2019

It begins to reveal itself

2:15 PM


First layer of paint begins



Think of this as a pause between seasons in my journal writing

 ~even as I know the plot line .... as sometimes I go within myself for awhile, go inside the crypt 

~to continue it, because the dictionary goes on and 

we are hung by a thread with a cliffhanger because ..... it is







a dare from an echo

wishing for reflection 

only if it is actually heard 




31 December 2019 thus far today

at 12:34 ....
