Walking Home series

Hello again!

Feel free to see the Artist/Statement section of this blog if you wish to read about what these drawings mean to me.  But please know, I am equally if not more curious about what they mean to YOU.  You would make my day if you write to me about what you think about as you look at any of them.  You would really make my day if you sent me a story or thought or meditation to my mailbox!  100 Kentucky Dr. Asheville NC 28806, that is.

This post is kind of like a check point for me.  I'm still very much in the middle of this body of work, keeping an eye out for where it wants to take me.  Many of the works below are still in progress, and some I am only showing a small piece of until I move through the rest of this series.   Thanks for browsing!

to the street!

Trenton Avenue Arts Festival is coming right up, and I'm hitting the road today so I can meet Bri there.  We will be selling prints, postcards and originals there all day.

Come see us this coming Saturday!  The festival takes place between Norris St & Frankford Ave, Trenton Ave and E Susquehanna in Philadelphia.

Here are some of the new drawings I'm bringing with me:

except this one!  I promised Matt I wouldn't sell it.

new visions in progress

Here are some of the results of recent studio time.  (They are not finished.)  Apparently, I'm drawn to more definition than the last series of paintings.  I have been working in a combination of collage, walnut ink and fine pen.  I recently stopped traveling as frequently as I have been for the past two years, and the suggestions of home or villages keep working their way into these images.  Basic geometrical forms are replacing atmospheric layering.  I'm enjoying faster, more aggressive strokes of my pen and dramatically altering the composition of my page in one fell swoop, then solving the problem I created with an area of texture or a carefully placed line.
