Untitled
Chalk pastel, ball-point pen and
Sharpie on found wood.

I spoke before about using different
pieces of scrap wood as a starting
point. With these two drawings I
feel like I was able to break into a
new point of view.

After working on many more studies, trying to develop a consistent train of thought, I decided to just jump on in and create a couple of big pieces, hoping that if I took the "Just do it" approach things would sort themselves out. Although I love these two paintings, I still feel that I need some more time at the sketchpad to work out some kinks. I seem to have gravitated towards a landscape theme, which is both unexpected and strangely familiar.
