Wow, I have been gone from blogging for over a month! My mother is still in a rehabilitation center recovering from hip surgery, but she is now stable and is slowly gaining mobility. Rehabilitation is a long, slow process and I am getting back to my normal life and activities.
This drawing was inspired by an exercise in the book Experimental Drawing by Robert Kaupelis. I started with a crop of a magazine photo. I cropped the photo a long time ago, so I do not recall the magazine. I think the actual photo was of a man and a woman lying next to one another. I like the ambiguity and the forms in the cropped photo. The faces remind me of mountains. This drawing replicates the cropped photo closely, but it is just the first step in a series of drawings. In subsequent drawings, I will depart from the cropped photo more and more. Eventually, the art work will be totally different from the original photo.

Bob Kaupelis was the best art Professor I ever had at NYU- 1979
How great to know that he is still inspiring artists!
Thanks for the comment, purple. You are so lucky to have taken classes with Bob Kaupelis!
Just to let you know, Bob died last week of a stroke at 81. He was a great friend of my mother-in-law and will be missed.
Thanks for letting me know. His books continue to inspire me.
