Here is the transformed drawing.  I am pleased with the way it works.

This image is 53 inches square.  This is the before drawing.  This weekend I will transform it like the previous smaller drawing.

Below is the finished circular head drawing I showed in my previous post.  I will be exploring more like this on a larger scale.  There are a few more sketches included here as well.  They are drawn o 24 x 32 paper.

September to October 8 work

Here are my latest experiments.  I made a trip to Ireland in September which gave me a lot of new images to work with.  I visited the "Dead Zoo" (Natural History Museum) in Dublin and took lots of pictures of the taxidermy animals there. The color abstract here at the top I feel lost in.  I don't really like it yet-I will play with it some more.

I am trying to explore ways to get intensity into my images- this month I have tried different techniques and mediums to see what they can do for me.  I will continue.

Here are the most recent drawings.  Lucinda Bliss came today and we discussed many things about what inspires me to  choose certain animals.  The giraffe image is too blah.....inconsistent in treatment of light and space and unclear just why I chose a giraffe-other than for its posture. Then we discussed "What about it's posture? "  It was a valuable exercise to weed out things not to do again.  I am tempted to go back into it and destroy it and see where I can take it - but maybe it is more valuable as an example of where I started when we reconvene in January.

The darkest drawing(the one immediately below)-I do not like either.  It is overpowered by swirling lines.  If I identify segments that work, I can take them into new work.

The image with the adult goat will be reworked-it still has issues.

The best one so far is the drawing with the 3 sheep.  It was the last one I did, and the one I completed the fastest (after a few days of contemplation).
