Sometimes my drawings border on cartoons. These are usually my least favorite but I post them anyway because a lot of people seem to like them … beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I prefer the simple, clean lines of much of my other work.
Swan
A throwback to my roots of simple pen and ink drawings. Every once in a while I think it’s a good idea to drop the color and hone my skills with line, form, positive and negative space.
Surrounded
Sometimes the significance of a piece – for me – comes to me after I draw it and name it. In this case I realized I had drawn a picture of the drastic change from bachelorhood to having a wife and her daughter living with me. It’s all good; they are sweethearts … just a drastic change )))
Night Offering
One common theme in my work is the creative nature of the spirit. Often it’s more subtle, but sometimes I hit you over the head with it … like this one.
Devil in the Details
A common theme in my work is faces in faces in faces. Sometimes it’s used to show a group of people, but more often it’s used to show a memory, an emotion, or the spirit.
Swirl Girl
The name for a piece usually pops into my head just as it’s finished … sometimes I have to struggle a little bit, but not too much. One friend suggested that I don’t name them and allow the viewer more freedom to interpret. I think the tittle is part of the expression and the viewer is always free to interpret.
Bright Days Ahead
Many of my drawings are about emotions … not necessarily my current mood, but something we’ve all lived through I’m guessing.
Dark Mood
“Dark Mood” expresses the detrimental personal effect of harboring anger and hate.
