Pencil work can be slow and painstaking, but so very satisfying. I don’t do this much for the dailies, just because of the time requirement. But I used to do long process pencil and colored pencil work. There’s a quiet that settles in with the delicate and deliberate touches. And the picture emerges in an almost sculptural way, as if carving shapes out of shadows.

I had 15 minutes in the studio, between getting home from work and settling into a family zoom. That is enough time to cover a page with crayon, pencil and ink. What is this song about? Maybe trying to get the important things done well enough and in time, mixed with a little chaotic anticipation of a snowy day.
