Crayon and chalk drawing

Spring 2009
6 "x 6"

This is an example of where these paintings begin. They're always done outdoors and in rapid succession. About 6 or 7 drawings, one after another while walking. I don't stop until I can focus on the glimpse that I thought I maybe saw.
China marker is my favorite medium here.

The gouaches are the next step. Each motif has a few gouaches that are built up as I start an oil. All these go back and forth until the painting has an unexpected depth while retaining the spontaneity of that original drawing.
