I have been using inks more and more alongside watercolors. They are thinner than watercolor, at least the pigments I enjoy the most, and they stain permanently into the paper. One tincture of carbon black is probably meant to endure months and months, but I enjoy pouring it straight out of the bottle like a sauce, undiluted and penetrating...
...but the paper cannot absorb everything I throw at it. Most of it is sacrificed.
Saturday February 16th will be the opening of a solo exhibition of my newest work created during the past year. Hooks Epstein Gallery is one of Houston's longest running art galleries, and I am so grateful to be a part of it. There is a direct flight to Houston from just about everywhere, so please join us.
