One of my goals in graduate school is to become more conscious of my creative process. The oil on paper paintings below are a selection from daily work done before or after sustained paintings. They are a way to quickly summarize an impulse or direction to explore. Time spent painting on paper took the place of drawing in ink done earlier in the semester. I plan to make this a consistent part of my painting practice.
