Gouache & pencil


New gouache and drawing silver from a book at Norlin, not so settled but satisfying enough. And a sketch from a stunning photograph of a horse & rider seen from the air with the horse's shadow streaming out above them. From a book of aerial photographs of Turkey. Sketch eclipsed by drawing of a band of silver ornament.


More color testing in a different vein, made me think of open mouths, singing?

A book page from some time ago–a collaborative project, theme was things pressed. This is wire pressed into painted paper, paint burnished with shoe polish. Stitched onto old stained paper that was found with the original press. Wire imprint looks somewhat fetal.
