These are a collection of images that are helping me move forward towards my next painting. I am looking for ways to build this painting up with several drawing attempts that kind of build a bridge to the image that is out there calling to me. Some times I feel like a stop short and settle to soon with the drawing stage that leads up to the painting.
The drawing stage is like the stage of a rocket that gets the painting into orbit, out of the earths gravity pull. Drawing is laying a foundation. Drawing is clearing the rocks from the field and pulling the harrow behind the ox. If you are an artist you may think of drawing in a different way. I would love to hear how drawing works or doesn't work for you. I would like to hear how you think of it.
