Drawings are at once the heartbeat, the bones, the musculature, and the spirit of all art. Drawings constitute a unique language for each artist, and the viewer is privileged to glimpse the skeletal elements of the art process first-hand. Drawings are personal: they reveal , they are intended as notes, they are a means to an end, and they represent the embryo of genius...the moment of an artist's truth.

Crash
As we entered the moon-lit forest, the intoxicating smell of pine sap wisped cooly past our noses. The sacred peace that radiated from the nearby babbling brook was shattered, as our presence disturbed a roost of slumbering turkeys. It was the "crash" of these creatures' wings against the pine branches that I remember most about that day, as they made every effort to elude our endangering presence.

beautiful!!
Wonderful and enchanting!
Nice...would be nice to hear about the technique used to get the colors...
This is beautiful! Love the feel and look of this peice.
This is a 24" x 36" piece of gessoed w.c. paper. A quick, non-consistent layer / ground of burnt sienna acrylic was applied and let to dry. Then a powdered graphite was rubbed over top. Lifting-out occurred through various types of erasers and damp rags. Additive work was done in vine charcoal and white c. p. The whole drawing took under an hour...fun stuff!
Wow! Your entire blog is great, the artwork and the writing. Thanks for the instructions on how you did this piece.
Beautiful! It seems pure gold.
