Peony and Finn from My Journals

•  Finish P+F drawing–allow 4 hours.

•  Two aspects of drawing from mind.

     1     Accuracy of draftsmanship.

     2     What we  know, verbally etc about the image.

•  It's the tension between these two that the chasm of art falls.

•  Draftsmanship:

     1     Accuracy of rendition.

     2     Interpretation.

•  Art lies in the dynamics between.

•  Make Peony a female bald eagle.

• I want to make each drawing and painting, regardless of time spent on it, an example of my total process.

•  Like art history from ancient to now each piece I create is also a microcosm of all art history. The process is an art history lesson.

•  Research dry point etching.
