many days walking by the river last November and December yielded many photographs
this week I chose a few that I was especially drawn to and did a few things...
December 10, 11:45 am
Pilot Mountain
first a drawing... not trying to make a true representation, not looking at the photo at all, just drawing from memory
and then, using papers I had painted a while back, a collage
still not looking at the photo
and then I did it again
December 12 at 10:37 am
looking across the river from downtown
December 6 at 12:44
same view
December 8 at 12:57
same view, cropped
a couple of drawings
and a collage
again, not trying to follow exactly what I saw, just the impressions I was left with
and one more time...
November 25 at 1:12
The Clay Cliffs Whitehorse
a drawing
and a collage
the freedom of not trying to duplicate what I saw lets me do what I feel like, take a notion, follow an impulse
lets me learn in a way that working rigidly to an ideal can't
and then of course there is the limitation of working with papers made long before these photos were taken
good fun, learned a lot
moving on
