Here’s how the charcoal drawing from last week turned out. Now I have to run out and buy some fixative (and maybe wait for spring so I can spray outside … cough …)
Intermezzo 1, charcoal on paper, 36″ x 33.5″
I decided to take a step back from small-scale and computer stuff and do an old-fashioned charcoal drawing. It’s a blast from the past for me, going back to the work I was doing in and just after art school (I’m even using a box of Utrecht charcoal left over from student days.) This is about 3′ square. The title refers to Brahms’ Intermezzi for piano, which Glenn Gould performed beautifully on this record. I’ll probably keep tinkering with this one for another week and then start on something fresh.
