the slightest line


[Still Life with Glass Bottle, Marbles and Pine Cone. silverpoint. 7.5 x 10". 2012.]

"Fundamentally, even the slightest line partakes of mind and spirit." - Emile Mâle, Religious Art in France, 1910.

I am continuing my work in silverpoint and other drawing media. This still life composition took some time as I worked towards achieving a more dense atmosphere than previous pieces (March's Tulip & Paperwhite Bulbs, for example).
