"The Little Mouse Ball"
I continue to clean. In my quest to find the floor in the upper studio and a true sense of organizational zen I found some great pieces I forgot I drew. So many sketches. So many drawings. A few paintings....all shoved and stuffed in folders and behind furniture in such sinful ways. Not sure why I was such a terrible host to them. They aren't as bad as I remember when I shoved them here and there in frustration. Not bad at all.

I call this one: "After the Third Scotch"
I am so happy I found the next ones. There were maybe four in the series and I suspect they were drawn during one of Pratt Institutes' annual "Draw-a-thon's". Drawing figures in the (then) foundation building from 7PM till 7AM. My favorite weapon to capture a figure was a thick black marker. No mistakes. I was committed from the moment the felt tip hit the paper. Adding the chalks was the cherry with whip cream on top. Of course, I didn't just pick up the marker when I first started figure drawing in my career. I grew into it. I had amazing teachers who encouraged such exploration and growth. Two of the most influential teachers I had were Dave Passalacqua and George Pratt. Both amazing teachers. Anywhoo, out of the four in the series these were my favorites. I especially loved to draw larger models. Just loved every inch of drawing them.
