"Beyond the Cretan Citrus Grove"

 "Beyond the Cretan Citrus Grove"

colored drawing on paper on cardboard

Feel like I should provide context for my pics sometimes but it also feels weird to do that. The whole point of a picture is that it's information-dense direct and absolutely clear communication. Adding a verbal element probably just muddles the message.

“Green Wave Break over Mike Lusk’s Lock (no, his kid isn’t buried in it)”

“Green Wave Break over Mike Lusk’s Lock (no, his kid isn’t buried in it)”

Lusk was an English engineer who built beautiful locks. Contracted for a couple in the 1830s for the Sandy and Beaver Canal. There are sad stories about how this work in the howling Ohio wilderness adversely affected his life and family.

Deadly Nightshade. Saving and taking lives for a very very long time.
