New drawings up.
I've been working on new drawings for a couple weeks now. I just uploaded my new series Winter Twins to my website. I've added one below.

Had a full day working in the studio last week. This is a first look at a new series of ten drawings — winter twins. The drawings are meditations and impressions of the season. Often at this time of year my drawings become mostly black and white. The drawings are minimal. I don't have much more to say right now; I'm still working on them and I don't want to think.
It is important to keep my head clear and trust the process. Keeping that place between sessions of drawings means I can't talk about them. I can't until they are finished.
It was good to get in the studio. There is a calmness and sense of purpose in wiping down all my work surfaces and assembling my drawing supplies and tools.
Selecting the paper.
Placing containers of graphite, pastels, and charcoal on the work table.
Now in silence waiting. Waiting to begin.
I'll be showing three drawings in Philadelphia Community Show at 3rd Street Gallery in February. The drawings are a longing for Spring.

I'll be showing deepening wood and salamander darts in the 3rd Street Gallery Invitational Show. I hope you can make the reception. If not please take the time to see the exhibition sometime in the month of January. These are two pieces in a series of four on synthetic paper. Thrilled to have been invited!

I find it difficult to throw things away that I have a feeling will be come art some day. On occasion that has created a bit of a storage problem. Recently I had to make the decision about putting a few design annuals on the street for give away or or carry the 30+ pounds up three flights to my studio.
Finally after numerous conversations with suppliers and fabricators — thank you all — I was able to frame the five selected drawings for Songlines.
I carried the framed drawings to our local UPS Store and the staff protected them.
Happy to get some time in the studio again this weekend. It was al because of my hard ware not arriving for my framing for Oregon in Songlines. More about that in another post. It was a bit difficult to get focused while all I could think about was framing and shipping and my little book if I can get that ready too,
