Woven

From the sketchbook, titled as the forms seemed to weave themselves together.

Something from the sketchbook, just a random little pencil sketch.  The vertical forms started looking like reeds to me, hence the title.

Three works from a still life series inspired by a lovely box of pears we received as a gift from our realtor.  I guess that's why I haven't had a new post in a while; too busy wheeling and dealing real estate!

Soft pastel on Richeson paper.
