Not Waving

Hospital doodle #14

The Professor

Hospital doodle #9 – drawn after the weekly ward round.

Cloud Cuckoo Land

Hospital doodle number 7. There are a family of seagulls nesting on the rooftop outside my window; Sam, Silver who has a limp and Claude who is still a youngster. They peer through my window begging for scraps. Pigeons and wagtails also congregate. Watching birds all day long, I’m hoping I may grow wings too and escape. 😂 In my crazier moments I wonder if they are the reincarnated souls of patients who have died in this room…if the window opened wider they would definitely come in!

The Surgeon

After ten weeks in hospital due to post Covid complications I’m waiting for a second operation. The last one was done while I was fully conscious which was not fun. This time they will hopefully knock me out!
So here’s my doodle called The Surgeon.

Doodle #6

Here’s another one of my hospital drawings, watercolour pencil and marker pen on paper. I don’t have a title for this one yet. I think it has a fairytale quality. Apples are powerful symbols both in Christianity and in myths. Feedback very welcome 🙏

Doodle #5

Here’s another one of my hospital drawings. Making art is a wonderful pain reliever! Better than drugs.

Doodle #4

Another one of my hospital drawings- I have family in Ukraine so the war is very personal to me. This drawing using oil pastels and marker pens is called Path in Poltava Oblast, Central Ukraine. Feedback welcome 🙏😊

Tree on Fire

Here’s another hospital doodle – oil pastel and pencil on paper.

Daily Doodle #2

Produced in my hospital bed a couple of days ago. No title for this image yet.
Feedback very welcome. 😊

I’m Back – Sort Of!

I’ve had a very long absence from WordPress ever since I was admitted to hospital with complications due to long Covid. Ten weeks on and I’m still incarcerated. I have no poems in me at the moment but have been producing a daily doodle. These started out as a bit of art therapy- just a quick sketch while propped up in my bed. But they seem to have evolved into something more.
I have decided to share them in the hope some of you may find them interesting. Comments and feedback very welcome!
