Ink Stone, with Greek coin and dreidel

Abstracts in Ink from the Right Hand Desk Drawer, 2020-2021

Bookish (the Blog) painting, sketching

Above: Raw Materials for Abstracts in Ink

January 30, 2021

In future, perhaps, 2020-2021 may be overlaid with a thin wash of nostalgia; remembered as years when we cleaned out our closets and desk drawers to fill time–and discovered memories, bits and pieces of our past lives…

What follows are a few experimental abstracts, painted in black ink, not with brushes, but with found objects from the right hand drawer of the desk in my studio.  Each is labeled as to it’s origin.
