go to your room




The need and desire; perhaps one in the same, to go to the studio, aka 'room',
is ever present and looming.

 I have 12 art works to be completed in 12 days.
yikes. 
Go to your room.

(I have work to do!)

unusual suspects














studio works; what was one painting turned into 4.

sumi, akua ink, gesso and charcoal.

veiling, obliterating, adding and more mark-making.
common themes in the views, now onto color.

home-grown, plein air.


Home-grown retail offers views on top of Queen Anne ideal for learning perspective concepts for drawing practice.
A one-point perspective study; I realized how important it is to place down the basic structure first and these add more of the form-giving elements, then more structure and form = detail.

I am not relying solely on perspective elements as vanishing points, horizon line and center of vision; though those are critical. I am utilizing shape and value and the big winner: figure/ground.

Finding one's position in space is all about perspective study; a true renaissance ideal.
