While speaking with an artist acquaintance last week the subject of working in a series became part of our conversation. For whatever reason I have chosen to work on individual pieces with a rather random, perhaps whimsical approach. The fellow I was speaking with offered a suggestion that I think I might try to implement. He offered that if I were to choose a subject and purchase a sufficient quantity of paper or canvas I'd have an easier time and an opportunity for efficiency in the work. He offered that many gallery directors prefer to exhibit a series of related works. That certainly sounded reasonable. So, I think I am going to work on that. Maybe I'll start with 25-30 or so sheets of exceptional paper, lots of really good charcoal and a few soft pastel sticks.
