August Blue

.........driving home on a hot August afternoon from a day trip north.....looking down into the cool blue of Rice Lake....almost home.

There is a certain blue of summer....involving lakes and distant boats and trees and rocks....giving us the sense that we're exactly in the right place.

Tired Man

Small pen and India Ink drawing, with wash, on thin paper laminated to single ply matteboard, 3.75 x 5.5 inches.

Old Apple Orchard, Early May

Made from a very brief diagram scribbled on my lunch hour.....I sometimes escape to this peaceful little country road. There is pencil on top of the acrylic in this one.....it's a bit bigger than what I normally make.....10 x 11 inches on gessoed paper.

Late March

This is the first of these collages with painted papers on masonite panel laminated with gessoed paper......sounds complicated, I know, but I like the surface. My previous collages were done on paper.
