Ink on rag, Paul Cummins once said that he thought the best in American drawing was done in ink. It is certainly close to painting in that it is liquid and without the resistance of pencil, so more seductive and also more elusive. These are from a series of drawings done over a period of days. Each is 11 1/2" x 9".

Here is an in-progess detail of a gouache on vellum. The paint sits on this and the paper becomes a thing unto itself, curling and moving in response, I like to imagine, to the image it is holding. I'll post the completed one soon.
