5 .75"x 5 .75" Original Pencil Sketch
*
Quick thumbnails or more serious sketches were a carry-over of college discipline. This I do before I undertake a painting either with acrylics or oils or even just for pastel compositions. This is the reason why I have accumulated a lot of sketches which I kept in my wooden cabinet, an inheritance from my mother who fancied old style pieces of furniture . . only to realize in the end, that these sketches prove to be the art pieces I now hold dear. Now, I know, it is in these sketches that my thoughts are visualized with such immediacy. I thank my wife, Lorna for taking care of them and even got them all framed.
