34" X 40"

oil on canvas

i'm starting to really enjoy painting and i think it's due to the fact i'm using the palette knife instead of a brush.

anyway, this painting is for a show commenting on the "wierd happenings" that go on, or have gone on, here in New Mexico. decades and centuries ago there were pterodactyl sightings near Lordsburg, NM.

i have been reading several of aesops fables and in the process i begin to see the story as an image and not text. i find the human experiences and emotions that these animals carry within the story very fascinating. therefore, i am creating drawings that express this in a subtle, mysterious manner.

playing with drawing

noreply@blogger.com (lost) — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 03:14:00 +0000

i'm trying different approaches in contextualizing the animals i represent. the idea of play is very prominent in my drawings and prints, so in taking that further i've incorporated playful elements from childhood and more specifically from my childhood.

love them woodcuts
