Exploring face and figure

These measure about 30"h x 20"w and are done on paper with charcoal and acrylic. Each one comes into being without a preconceived idea about how they will look. I start with an oval and some marks then the evolution begins. I try to retain a certain moment or feeling that happens along the way. The real exciting part is watching how they change during the process...one tiny mark can alter the whole feeling or attitude.
