Moving between media is important to me. The feel of graphite, the smell of linseed oil, the speed of acrylic are all part of the artistic experience. Two pieces from this week show this. The mannequin was the only form of model I had in the studio. I wanted to get back to the slower process of oil painting so I began with this grisalle. The seed pods are a quick work that forced me to think about the rules of composition for different purposes. The structure was scientific but the execution was more in building shading and shape.
