Absence and Pressence

August 15, 2014
Blockprint
11"x14" paper

This is proof 4 of 5 from my submission to the upcoming exhibit of work responding to the March 5, 2007 bombing of Baghdad's "Street of the Booksellers". With a little luck I will get this transferred to the color block and print the full-color version in the very near future.

Camp II

August 7, 2014
Charcoal on paper
3"x4.75"

Made a handful of thumbnail sketches while on vacation in Maine with my family. It would have been nice to have made a few more than I did, but it rained a lot which kept me inside for the most part. What I did accomplish was more than worthwhile and I hope to get some press time sometime soon and make some prints with the sketches I have done recently.

Soft skies
Warm sun
Green World
Turn me around
Again
And again.

Western Head Preserve

August 3, 2014
Charcoal on paper
4.5"x3.5"

This may be my favorite of the bunch from this trip. I went on a hike with my family on the Destiny Bay trail-head in Cutler, Maine. Spied this view on the hike in and sat down for a few minutes to capture it on the way out of the Western Head Preserve.

Little Macias Bay
I truly love this spot
From the daily changing tide
To the annual growth and erosion
Of the Maine coast and landscape.
