Yesterday I was enjoying the simplicity of pushing ink around with a big brush, and suddenly found with pleasure that my stuttering marks were being influenced by much admired friend and artist, Fran O’Neil. Right now, these marks are resisting the addition of other colors, and loading up the page with more, different and complex marks isn't working so well. Lately though, creating harmony with similar marks and strokes has emerged as something I enjoy tending to. I look forward to seeing where all this leads — loving the new vocabulary.
The staccato of these marks is perfectly accompanied by Bach and espresso. Several espressos. Acrylic ink on watercolor paper, 22"x30."
