November 2, 2007 Day 197
I used a single black calligraphy pen to make today's drawing, modifying the pressure on the paper in order to get a variety of lines:
Drawing #202 12" x 9"
Next, I took a hard look at Canvas 24, which I kind of liked the way it was. But I felt it needed further defining, and used black paint with a dry brush to emphasize shapes and to strengthen lines.

After that, I did two backgrounds, each very different from the other:
Canvas 25 36" x 36"
Canvas 26 36" x 36"
The rest of my day was spent in the chaos of administrative details, like trying to find a garage door company that would come on a Friday afternoon to fix our garage door. I had a new phone line put in for my studio, but then when I was in the studio, our home phone would ring, and when I was in the house, the studio phone would ring. What was I thinking?
Tonight we relaxed with a couple of old Tony Soprano dvds, and just as we were getting ready for bed, I remembered: write the art blog entry for the day.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
