Still got rocks in my head. My ongoing Stone series continues to grow. I received an order of about 100 sheets of beautiful Fabriano and Canson papers, so have been doing drawings in charcoal and mixed media lately. I like the look of all these drawings as a group, but they take up about 11 feet of wall, so will likely be offered for sale as vertical pairs.
The video I shot in December of clouds on Craig Mountain has inspired these cloud images. There is something elemental that I am drawn to with the pairing of sky and stone.

Ohmygawd these are SO SO SO beautiful. Ethereal. Your handling of the charcoal is masterful and sensitive.
Carry on!
Just beautiful--I love these!
Lynne, that's very kind of you--thanks for that encouragement!
Hi Susan--thanks!
It's a fascinating idea Don - part of the 'earth, air, fire and water' theme. Love the idea of endlessness in sky and finiteness in the stone - but as the stone crumbles over time, it turns to dust - and starts to move into the air again. Weird but fascinating. Yep, agree, beautiful charcoal work.
Hi Sheila--thanks. Yes, I like getting back to basic media--drawing in charcoal--and back to basic ideas too, in a way.
Don!
These looking so lovely all lined up together!
