My inspiration for the drawing with the curves came from a piece of jewelry that I made. It is an abstract eye in the sun. I did a watercolor of the painting a few years back and brought in a photo of the work. I used this photo to work from taking certain elements and really abstracting them and playing with the visual tension. I enjoy the flowing, rhythmic feeling of all of the curves.
The other two pieces I got inspiration from was a photo taken in Provincetown of an old building that had photographs of old Portuguese women on them. While I did not draw the woman, I did play with the various squares and rectagles within the photo. After a few studies and mini sketches, I turned one of the sketches vertical and drew a bigger version using different values. I think the drawing works, had great visual tension and I am really proud of it.
