Studio Update

Unfinished charcoal drawing/ 17 1/2" x 23 3/4"

I know some people are not into process photos, but I am very fascinated by the evolution of my developing work. Each stage becomes for me thoughts frozen in time, soon to be covered over and absorbed into the changing currents of my intuitive impulses as I struggle to figure out what the work is about and where it wants to go.  I wish I was not such an anxiety-ridden artist, but it does feel all worth it when I am surprised at the end when the work coalesces.

My home studio 

Some artists need, I suspect, a clean white box in which to work, but I am the opposite. I need pictures everywhere, control clutter, and familiar and comfortable stuff surrounding me.
