Short poses


The so called virtue of being in the moment during an afternoon of short poses is more like submission to a drill – a willingness or at times unwilling submission to necessity of blackened fingers.
Below a few, mostly compressed charcoal.

Conversation

I roughed out two small studies today  - this may or may not develop into more finished work or may simply lead to more studies or both. When you have the desire to go in all directions at once this strategy  is one way to cope with that odd impulse

Untitled


This is actually the first piece from the same afternoon  in which I painted the study below (wooded). Here I was facing the north east  and in the previous post I was looking  down immediately to my left on an embankment beside the road on a farm off Mineral Springs Rd.
