Drawing with Nature, 2022, continuing series
A long while ago, I placed some flowers I was drying out on a table in my studio. On the table also were some sheets of paper I use to protect the drawings I do from any dirt that is on my right arm while drawing. On these pieces of paper, I sometimes make squiggles […]

34 Branch Drawings, 2022
It took a year to determine how to use the thirty-four pictures I took of the drawing below. This drawing was so difficult to do, that is, imitating the image of an 8 x 10 photo of branches, that I took pictures moving across and down the drawing to ensure that I could retain the […]

20 Twig Scans, 2022
Once I had created shapes out of the photographs of the twigs, by drawing around both the image of the twig and the shadow of the twig, I made scans of the original drawings so I could trace them for other sets of drawings. These are the first set of scans. Another group of scans […]

Metaphysical Alphabet 1-20, 2022
The major intention of my artwork as a whole is to communicate ideas, compounded with a background in conceptual art, minimalism, and a desire to draw rather than paint. In the course of 2021, my focus was to reboot an art language that had essentially lost its breath during 2020 when I replaced doing art […]

Branches and Lines, 2022
Branches and Lines is very large. It is based on the photograph below. This photograph was taken on my drawing table in my North Adams studio. I scattered apple tree branches across the table randomly to document them. The branches were part of a sculpture that I placed outside when I lived in Worthington to […]

Grasses 1, 2, 3, 2021
These drawings manifest a turn from concentrating on drawing images of trees which occupied me for a while. I foraged through my Instagram images of grasses that I took on my Sunday walks in Worthington, MA to choose subjects for these three drawings, which are, in themselves, abstractions of the photographs. All of the drawings […]
