On Alert

$100 plus $6 shipping in U.S.

Projects seem to take on their own life. I started out the other day to do just one drawing of Winslow, here I am on the fourth. I like that about this daily painting project, though--nothing is really pre-determined, I follow the muse around each day. Today she made me glance in my drawing kit, where I noticed a bottle of sumi ink that hadn't been opened in years. The result: a charcoal and ink wash drawing, with Winslow as the handy subject.
Thanks for the help, muse!

I love how a subject develops in a series - and this pup has a lot of character! I think it's funny that you, and an artist friend of mine, Sally Dean, were both in HI at the same time - although she travelled from Massachusetts, quite far away.
This drawing/wash is just beautiful.
Your charcoal and pencil drawings strike me as a modern interpretation of the 16c master etchings...and the contrast of the wash, beautifully done.
I believe Winslow to be your muse.
: )
Hi Kelley--thanks for the visit. It's interesting, after we returned I found out there were quite a number of family and friends over there at the same time--and this was just on Maui!
I appreciate your kind words.
Wow, that's pretty heady encouragement, Marilyn--thanks!
If he's not my muse, he at least provides a lot of amusement.
wonderful expression well captired :)
Don, I love it!
You have a wonderful illustrative style in your drawings of Winslow!
