gift gift (detail)
making images begins with studies. sometimes they are starting points. sometimes they just clarify. good studies are enjoyable so i allow myself time to develop them. i have discovered that satisfying images need time to percolate in my imagination and studies are an especially useful tool in pursuing this process.
