While waiting to drive back from a painting workshop in Calistoga, I sat on the ground watching a cow and her son, “Tiny” who was a huge black bull. Using two 6″ x 8″ pads of paper I sketched the animals. Both sketch pads were open so while one ink drawing dried I sketched on the other pad. Holding a long stick, I dipped the end into a bottle of India ink and started to draw. Here are some of the results. I’m thinking of making it into a book. Maybe I’ll reduce them to the size of a cell phone, keep them separate and let people play, making up their own stories about these guys.
I just love bamboo sticks & ink! Excellent work, Carla. Making them into a book is a great idea!
