Wolf Spider
Stared with linework then tried to switch to a wet brush using Robert Oster Heart of Gold ink. Spiders scare me badly; I’ve done a lot of work on them. I don’t kill them anymore unless they crawl out from … Continue reading

Seven Years ago today. I did a tip-in from one of his music books and am thinking that I’d like to do more of these but the paper is so brittle and everything feathers on it… Still, it is interesting … Continue reading
