New Works On Paper

These are a few of my most recently completed "works on paper." All are 11" x 14" and were done with mixed media: charcoal, carbon pencil, marker, tempera, watercolor, india ink and soft pastels. This work is for sale from the Artist or the Pillar Shephard Art Gallery. Contact the Artist for details.

"The Sam Adams Cataract Cure"

This is another quick mixed media work on paper. I did this one soon after returning from the optomotrists office. I went hoping to get new glasses to correct my vision which seemed to be failing. Well, nothing could be done with glasses because of a cataract! So now it is time for cataract surgery. The medical stuff is wearing on me, but it is creating opportunities for strong emotional expression. A heck of a price for inspiration!! 24" x 18" crayon, charcoal, marker, watercolor, casein, india ink and pencil. Jim

Mixed Media Works On Paper

After spending a week in the Hospital when both of my kidneys shut down I began to put down on paper quick studies that expressed my experiences. These are raw and emotional and I think they express the direness of my condition. All are 18" x 24" and are mixed media on paper.
