This is an image of one in a new series of paintings-- to see more in this series, check out the section up top called "New".  As always, thanks for looking!

This drawing is also part of the series within which I am making marks with both of my hands.  The shape is bisected at an angle (in my head)- the south west portion belongs to my left hand, while the north east belongs to my right.  I trade the pen off from hand to hand without taking it from the paper (except to re-ink the pen).  The image consists of one continuous line.

This image resides within a 22" x 30" piece of paper.

Detail.

 

Here is another large drawing that I've been working on.  I made these marks with my left and right hands, alternating the pen to the left and right of the axis.  I began this as an attempt to keep both sides of my brain happy-  so that if my brain were cut in half my hands wouldn't start fighting each other.  It happens (rarely).  Hopefully if it ever does, my hands will remember these series of drawing.  I'm working on another that I will post tomorrow.

The drawing spans a 22" x 30" piece of paper.  It is the trial for a wall-long piece.

I am also not sure if it is finished as the test piece.  I need to stare at it a little longer.  Upon staring at it a second longer, I am positive that it isn't finished.  I will still share with you.

Hey all-

I've just finished a big drawing that I've been working on for a while.  I have two other drawings that I will share, although, I'm not sure if I'm finished with them.  Let's just call these "progress shots".  I will get the drawings scanned soon, so the image quality will be better.

The drawing is roughly 2 1/2 x 2 feet.

It is water color and archival ink.

This drawing is really hard to photograph because it's large and detailed, sorry about the image quality- I hope you get the idea...

And... here's a closer detail.

In this drawing I am exploring growth, roots, knots, movement and creating depth with line.  It is an extremely meditative, soothing and fun way of drawing.  The drawing seems to build itself before my eyes.  I think of it as being a slightly sticky creature that uses its apendages to absorb food.  Most things I make are somehow creatures to me...
