The following drawings were done for the Hunt Library in Falls Village, Connecticut exhibit "The Natural World". It was a benefit for the library and they were kind enough to let me participate (even though I was a late applicant).
The photos of the drawing process below give you a vivid understanding of how the pigments changed over a very short period of time.
Also you will see some images that have my 12" x 12" cut out window over them so I can see what part of the drawing will be front and what parts wrap around the sides.
The final photo in each series shows the "current" nature of the work when it was delivered to the exhibit.
