Blue

    I'm calling this Blue, for now.  So far, it is the only drawing of this series on this color of paper. 

    When I was traveling last summer, I saw some wonderful drawings by A. Durer done with charcoal on grey or blue paper. It had been a long time since I had worked with the technique, and it made me want to do it again. 

    I also wanted to loosen my mark making and invite randomness into my process. Since this drawing, I've tried (mostly) to let the randomness happen. When it does, I feel the most free.

    

 

Trane Sighting: It had been three months

A dream image from about a year ago.

This was the image that convinced me that pastel pencils had real possibilities for mixing color. I was so surprised by how much using them felt like painting.
