                                                              Pen and Ink

As you can see I never have developed a distinctive personal style.  I think that I just draw according to whatever influence I have had at the time.  When I see something inspirational, I want to take off from it and see if I can do the style or push it further.    According to Picasso this is an entirely acceptable method of proceeding.   I think his quote was " bad artists copy, good artists steal".

I have started back to my class in etching and in preparation for some 15x20 cm plaques in copper and in zinc, I took some pictures of drawings I had done in art classes over the years.

  I spent some years studying the human form with a live model.  These are some of the photos that I can now print into the exact size I need for the etchings.     Since, you asked, I will post them a few at a time.
