Recent Sketches

I often doodle faces. I like noses. I like eyes. I have trouble with lips. I have trouble with placing the features proportionally. I use the word doodle because I don't sketch through observation. I just doodle and I enjoy it.


I also enjoy doodling bowls. Bowls are interesting shapes and I like the utilitarian nature of them. Bowls, vases, cups, are my favorite kinds of pottery. They are vessels to be filled and help us fill ourselves. Bowls are some of the earliest artifacts archeologists have found from early human civilization. They are a tool that has not changed much over tens of thousands of years. I like simple bowls. They have a quiet dignity to them.
