Studies in Various Media
This gallery is truly a grab-bag. Admittedly the quality is very uneven. Most of these items come from way back in my career, or even before - stuff from elementary school. Others come from my earliest years when I had already committed to being an artist, but was still imitating the styles of artists I especially liked. Most of them don't even have inventory numbers. Some are from when I had begun to find my own way, and still others are experimental, in that I was trying to determine the possibilities of certain materials and techniques. Certain of these I like well enough for the result, but wouldn't brag about just the same. Still, I present them here - hidden near the bottom of my menu of galleries - for whatever interest they may offer.
I have noticed more and more about myself that I tend to get interested in many things - too many, probably, for my own good. With that in mind, I relate to what Walt Whitman said: "I contain multitudes." Yeah, Walt, same here, but those multitudes just don't fit. I try to enjoy the crowding just the same.
