Triad color scheme with split complements, dominant color is Blue/Purple. That gives me Blue/Purple, Yellow and Orange.
Trumpet Valve, Caps and Rooting Oxalis
The entire day was spent drawing the trumpet valve parts. I have more than sixty drawings left to do. I want to finish them before spring arrives so that I can begin my next series of 100 drawings and paintings as soon as the earth begins to awaken from winter. I’m thinking of focusing on hedgerows.
Each drawing is unique, even if the subject matter is the same. Each drawing requires my total focus. Though I say I want to be done, I am not rushing. I learn nothing when I rush. For me, drawing and painting is about learning new ways of seeing and new ways of expressing what I see, it is not about making pictures.

Chris, I admire your discipline and focus. I also love your sketches. I think you consistently achieve such high quality because you take your time and reminhd yourself constantly of your intention. Really wonderful work.

Thanks, Linda. Your series of Orbs is proof of the growth possible with continued dedication. They take my breath away. I’m sorry that your growth as an artist came as such high cost. I look forward to seeing your new direction.
