I love black and white

I love making pencil drawings...here's three little'uns and two bigger'uns...


Stained Glass, 2005, Ebony pencil, approx. 3 x 2


Early Spring Moonlight, 2008, 9 B woodless pencil with white colored pencil, approx. 3 x 3


Nocturnal, July, 2008, 9B woodless pencil, 2H pencil, 4 x 4



Serpentine, 2008, graphite dust, 9B woodless pencil, with 4H pencil, 14 x 11




Smoke, February, 2009, graphite dust, 9B woodless pencil, with HB, 2H and 4H pencil, 14 x 11


I very often return to black and white pencil drawings to work out my vision...keeping it simple without the complication of color, working on marks, shapes, textures...

They're as simple as far as just using pencil, but they're mighty complex...some a little busier than others...
