Also, the instructor introduced me to the work of artist Helen Frankenthaler, who was married to Robert Motherwell. I love her work… these are some pictures I took of the pages of the book.

Your Japanese ink study is stunning, I love the negative space and the dreaming quality of it. I would consider it a finished project.

These have such great energy, I'm going to have to look at some Motherwells. I love the commitment these studies show.

I remember my Mom doing several similar studies/assignments when she was at Emily Carr - she was facinated with the tension that could be created with a simple brush stroke! You've definitely captured wonderful line in your pieces - I especially like the expression created in your ink/brush/string study.
Great work!!
