"WHITE ON BLACK"
When I rediscovered, in my studio, many sheets of 14” x 17” black paper that I had been itching to use for a long time, all I needed was white ink, white pencil and white oil crayon to get to work with my usual mindset of: "Plan to have no plan."

The paper was first approached with an aimless line that showed I didn’t know where I was going.  Persistence, however, resulted in an impressionistic face with lots of added details.  The first drawing was followed by 23 others, keeping the same theme, some of them playful, some sweet, many about friendship, always with a main individual whose image creates the theme.  Naming them is fun.
