Re: A new chrysantemum piece
Beautiful work. I love how you delineate the shape of the petals and pare the flower head down to a clean, simple form. The ink colour is gorgeous. And it's an inspired pairing with the Corman piece. It's one of my favourites.

Re: A new chrysantemum piece
Thank you migo. My work revolves around distilling a context to its essence, so most of the work is done before ever setting pencil to paper: reading, sketching, re-reading, processing: life washing over the idea. It takes me months of preparation.
A year or so ago I did a piece about the pines of Rome, Italy (my hometown); it was on my drawing board for probably five months. Every few days adding something, then letting weeks go by as I looked at it. Then getting back to it.
Much like Corman's poetry. Or Robert Hass' the editing (in my case before starting the actual drawing part) is essential.
