The flower that has turned away from it's partner evokes rejection. The anxiety ridden flower with a bee at it's center, the yin yang of the Dual Nature couple, and the fun loving relationship between Thelma and Ed, all are portryed in a strange arresting visual imagery that has surrealistic overtones and dreamlike qualities that are heightened by the unusual technique. For the small drawings I use a photo proces paper as a base and apply a color wash in a controlled manner which creates a frottage like surface. I then use a very fine black pencil to delineate the form and facial features. Colored pencil is then applied over the base wash and accentuates the inherent textural qualities of the wash.
Volume is created by shading and color selection establishes the emotional content of the drawing.
