I paint today in a sweet little vacation cottage, with windows and screened porches in abundance, all of them wide open to magically warm June daytime air and the perfection of cool deep-sleep nights. A bit of the huge expanse of Lake Champlain laps the edge of our front lawn, and Vermont mountains trace the horizon.
I grab the pad of Canson classic cream 18x24" 90 pound drawing paper I have with me and begin playing.
Blacks, whites, China marker, print collage, latex paint, architect tracing paper, matte medium.
Messing about.

So good to have you back in business! 18/24 "That's quite a big size, isn't it? I'm looking forward to seeing your posts again!
Simone, thanks for your comment! I missed being in conversation with you while I was away! 18/24 (~46/61cm) is 'quite a big size' for me, if not for others : ) It was fun to work with the limits of what I brought with me on vacation—a pad of drawing paper that had been passed along to me, and a bunch of mostly black and white painting/drawing supplies.
Yes, really have missed your daily blog posts! Love those overlapping collage pieces! Great mark making. Stands on its own in this monochromatic study!
Carol, so happy to see you here at my blog—takes the sting out of leaving an idyllic vacation behind. I've missed you, too! Thanks for your feedback—I had such fun freely filling this drawing paper with the overlapping collage pieces, mark-making, and monochromatic exploration of which you took note. I appreciate your view that it stands alone as is : )
