St. Bernard drawn in aux trois crayon (red (sanguine), black, and white) on cream toned paper. 2020
Dickens at Five. 4” x 6” sketchbook drawing in blue and black ballpoint pen. 2019.
John Lewis. 4” x 6” sketchbook drawing using a cheap ballpoint pen set from Dollar General. Just an exercise for me during the beginning stages of the pandemic.
Dick Schoew. 5” x 7” monoprint on grey toned paper. Our pal and neighbor was going through a series of difficult medical issues and had an extended stay in hospital so I painted him on a plexiglass plate with Caran d’Ache Neocolor II water based crayons. The plexiglas plate was placed on our etching press and I dropped a moistened piece of grayish-brown paper, dropped the blankets onto the bed and ran it through the press. This is how it printed. A very nice monoprint. I posed him in front of his beloved James Rivah as a reminder of what fun he had in his future. He’s now built a boat, maybe better called a party barge, on which to sit and contemplate the seasons as they change on the James Rivah in Central Virginia. Collection of Dick and Winkie Schoew, great neighbors!
