Baziotes on the art process

When I read this quote I thought "how true"!

"Each canvas has its own way of evolving...each beginning suggests something - the suggestion then becomes a phantom that must be caught and made real." (William Baziotes, 1912-1963).

Exploring the face

Charcoal and acrylic
14" h x 10" w
Hello there!

Exploring face and figure

These measure about 30"h x 20"w and are done on paper with charcoal and acrylic. Each one comes into being without a preconceived idea about how they will look. I start with an oval and some marks then the evolution begins. I try to retain a certain moment or feeling that happens along the way. The real exciting part is watching how they change during the process...one tiny mark can alter the whole feeling or attitude.

Monotypes

I was introduced to the monotype process years ago and taught by two
wonderful artists; Polly Hammet in Houston, Texas and Marie Leterme
in Galveston, Texas. I am forever grateful to them and still enjoy
experimenting with monotypes. Here are some of the latest efforts
made without a press using water based printmaking inks.
