ball point pen
So I have work going up in this beautiful local, Rochester, Minnesota restaurant called Forager this weekend. I finished the text on the drawing yesterday and got it cleaned up in photoshop just now. I will be selling this image as a framed print, along with prints of the rest of this anatomical series. I can't wait to see them in the space.
The reception for the exhibition will be 10/23/16 from 4-6 pm. Hope to see you there!
was done this week. I have had more than a handful of images of 1950's ladies in a folder, just waiting to come out. I thought one of these little ladies would be lovely as a deer, so that is how this came about. I like how she is looking at you, but being waited on by someone else off stage. I, of course, see all the awkwardness of a leg, the hands, the value....but I am letting that go and enjoying the process of seeing what comes.
was done this week. I would like to have a new drawing/print for my Etsy.com shop at least once a week until I reach 100 listings. I know. But it can't hurt to draw and I am curious to see what comes. This is the first!
the last of the series so far.
I have a friend who is a doctor of Hematology and Oncology at the Mayo Clinic and she has asked that I make her a drawing of a blood vessel. I'm not yet sure of the words to accompany it. Thoughts?
and ready to list on Etsy.com. This drawing is one of a series of three that I would like to sell as limited edition prints. The paper is 8x10 inches and the drawing made with ball point pen. I think ball point pen is my most favorite drawing tool ever. It doesn't make the big, majestic charcoal figure drawings of my youth, but it makes the loveliest of lines. It reminds me of a lithography crayon line, without all the levigating of stones. Every year for Christmas I get two boxes of Bic black, fine ball point pens in my stocking. Looks like it is time to start drawing.
