Fronds

"Fronds" Pencil Drawing

From the sketchbook, a non-objective drawing that developed into organic, fern-like shapes.  The title "Fronds" seemed as appropriate as any.

My non-objective drawings start quite literally with a bunch of scribbles...I scribble some more, erase, smudge, hatch, etc., until a suggestion of form develops.  Usually these drawings start to resemble landscapes or images of nature.  I enjoy working this way a great deal; it's wonderfully meditative, and keeps me in touch with my artistic voice I think...
