In the fall of 2009 I began a serious study of pen and ink under the direction of Mark Henry. This little fall pumpkin was my first effort. It is on 5"x6" sized paper and has very little pen work. I began with a light pencil drawing and then started layering tones of walnut ink with a brush. The walnut ink was made the year before from walnuts harvested in my back yard. I painted this in my daughter's living room in Gainesville, Fl., while visiting her at Thanksgiving. Friday, March 5, 2010

Dear Mandy, I wept when I read that you could not live without "beauty." I feel the same way. And these walnut ink compositions are a joy to view. THANK YOU!
