Plains #4
As I mentioned a few posts back I want to get back to drawing now that my solo show has opened. I’ve been home sick and today I finally got the energy to finish a drawing I started last week.
This one is spikier than the previous ones in the series (Plains #3, Plains #2, Plains #1) . In addition this drawing is on larger paper with some unused margin around the outside so I can mat the piece. The previous 3 went right up to the edge of the paper. I like the not-quite-perfectly-straight edge that results from doing it this way.
For those that are new, these are drawn freehand (no ruler) with graphite pencils on white drawing paper. Click on the image for more detail.

Lisa,
I hope you feel better soon. This drawing is very interesting….are you going to make it into a quilt?

I’m glad you’re slowly feeling better! I like this drawing and it was done freehand, now I’m most impressed.

I need to do a post about how my drawings relate to my fiber work but I don’t plan (at this point) to do a direct transalation of these Plains pieces into fiber.
Thanks for the compliments!
