It is a sketch! It then went through a few software mash-ups and came out like this. Looks good printed as a small image on A3+

Available in a limited edition of 25 prints, pigment ink on archival paper.

This print is available exclusively through the Allen Gallery in Chelsea New York. If you would like to purchase a print please contact Michel Allen.

I spent a lot of time trying to get the sky & the bush in the front. None of it looked right. Then Kate said “I love that!” when I was back to the skyline layer. It is the view at Mt. Lyford from just near our house. There is a deep dark valley between us & those trees. I will do more & capture that if I can.

Sketches, unlike paintings do not usually cover the whole surface. The underlying surface is integral to the image. Having said that, some painterly sketches follow that do cover the available space.

I have given this image less height and printed it in A3+ in “landscape” – does the thing more justice. I will go with the larger prints.

Montessori

#46 Montessori

This is from a very old archive. In the early 50’s I drew these at the Montessori school I was at. Here is what I wrote a four years ago when I shared this with some people:

“I went to a Montessori school for the first three years or so of my schooling. We could choose activities. I drew circles and painted them yellow. Thousands of them. Obsessional. My mother thought they were wonderful and kept them in a box! I don’t think I did it to please her though. I loved doing it. This is what they looked like.”

Of course the word Thousands stands out for me as I read this.

These two are from the archives. They are on my mind as I have been working with them yesterday, printing. They are a bit tricky to do with the fine lines, but now have A4s that look good. The B&W one appeals. I think they originated on the Palm, not sure now! A few more from the archive coming up. I think it is part of the 1000 as I am reworking them in light of the new printer.
