“Split Peas”

Silverpoint Drawing
5×10″ prepared paper

Not really sure what type of pods these are, but they’re great finds, long and elegant. Some of the split ones are curved and twisted, perfect holders for the glass “peas.” See my website for more about silverpoint.

“Stuck”

oil painting
5×10″ panel

Scattered throughout my house and studio are natural treasures: gorgeous seashells, beautiful animal skulls, woodcarvings from Africa and New Zealand, seedpods, a huge array of beach stones, bamboo and cinnamon. Many of these have appeared in the paintings and silverpoints on The Art Fly and many more wait in the wings…

These compositions, that are part of my Meditations series, usually come together over a few days as I gradually become aware of their presence, shifting and switching elements around until it feels right. These banded stones won out this time, and spoke in a way that seemed to say: we’re stuck. Of course, I could be projecting.

For each of the paintings in this series I typically create a “floating” frame (not shown here because not built yet). But, please email if you are interested in this piece.

“Bamboo, Cinnamon, Glass”

Silverpoint Drawing
4.5×8″ prepared paper

From the top: bamboo, cinnamon, glass. Three of my favorite elements drawn with a rod of silver metal on yellow-orange prepared paper, heightened with white ink and pastel. With time the silver will oxidize to its characteristic warm sepia tone.

Silverpointwas used most extensively during the Renaissance era, before the graphite pencil existed. See many other silverpoint drawings of natural objects: animal skulls, seashells, flowers, seedpods – and portraits on my website.
