Mad CatsMove over Birds, here come the Cats! I'm now having fun with the next series of drawing/paintings. I'm calling it 'Mad Cats" - you can probably see why! There is something so wonderfully crazy wild about cats - even when they're curled up on your lap, all fuzzy and purring, they have a look in their eye...
These are ink, watercolor pencil, charcoal pencil, pencil - mixed media on paper Mad Cats is a tribute of sorts to Toby, mad cat excellent, who left us last year Read my October Blog about the series Marilyn's Art Blog Bird GamesI have always loved drawing and painting on good paper. Most of my work has ever celebrated the conversation among surface, medium, subject, and me as the artist. I treasure the happenstance, the chance stroke that results from something just beyond my control, even as I know how to control the direction and the end point.
On this page I'm showing original works, beginning with a new series that was sparked by my Ink Bird series of cards. I call this series 'Bird Games' with 'players' in numbered multiples and in single drawings. All are on fine art Rives paper, created with a Rotring watersoluble ink pen and Faber Castell watercolor pencils. Prices on request |
