Playing with rocks in my studio

Playing with rock set-ups

I’m finally getting back to work in my studio.  My younger son is off to camp for three weeks, and I’m recuperating from a minor surgical procedure yesterday on my right leg.  My mind finally feels freed up again.  I don’t think I realized how preoccupied I was with the surgery as it loomed in front of me - I’m so happy to have it behind me.  And since I can’t ice skate or exercise for at least one week,  I have plenty of time to catch up on all sorts of things in my studio!  I’ve already organized many details that I had let slide - completing a list of unframed and framed drawing sizes; deciding which competitions to enter for the remainder of 2009, those types of things.

Now I am playing with stones in my studio, and toying with the idea of doing a series of 10 drawings and trying to complete them this summer.  Working on the Canson Mi-tientes goes a little faster than the Strathmore Paper I usually use, so maybe this is possible?  I have all sorts of ideas about combining stones with other simple elements, much like the drawing I just completed - “Rocks and Egg in Vase”.  It’s an entirely different thing to see if it works.  But I like the idea and am going to try and run with it!

Happy Summer, and if you live in the Northeast, let’s hope the sun comes out soon.
