NOTES:
Here is a brief collection of sketches dating mostly from the past two years, and ranging in genre / style from cubism, to neo-impressionism,
and beyond. The majority of these sketches came about as the initial studies for larger paintings and sculptures that were intended to follow. It
seems that this may be more of an intention than a fact...regardless...I suppose we'll soon see...
