Selected Daily Drawings
I try to make a drawing every day in addition to my more substantial work. Sometimes they are based on direct observation, other times on recollection or they might be strong memories from a long time ago. The weather can be a factor in deciding what to do each day! They are on various sizes of paper up to A3 and made with a variety of materials. They are stand-alone drawings and not preparatory sketches. Most are available for sale. Prices vary.
