Hopefully these are sketches for larger paintings–now all I have to do is find the room to complete this project.drawings31.jpgdrawings1.jpgdrawings2.jpgAfter visiting Paris this summer, my mind was overtaken by so much of the place–it was a very unexpected thing. I find myself trying to incorporate much of my memories of France into some new art. I have been working on a story based upon the tale of Behemoth and Leviathan.
