Woman in the Cave

Ink on page of 1938 London Times

8"x 7"

I love the manner in which it appears the woman is 

inside the cave and that the opening is further back.

Though it is only a two-dimensional surface, her face 

seems nearer than the open sky behind her.

This week someone sent me an article about the benefits of doodling. Scientists studied patterns of blood flow in the brain when people engaged in various activities. Artists already know that creative expression is rewarding, but science has begun to recognize that there are other benefits. After making art people are better problem solvers. Doodling is especially potent. Here's a link to the full story. 

20 years ago I conceived of a project that I called Dandy Yankee Doodles in which I had hoped to collect doodles from famous people and turn them into art cards or print them on T-shirts to sell and raise money for needy kids. This was before the days of the Internet and I used a resource from the library to find addresses. Mortimer Adler's secretary wrote to say Mr. Adler did not doodle. An assistant for Julie Andrews sent me a standard publicity still of the former Mary Poppins. But Annie Dillard sent me a real doodle. It was fun to receive. You can see it here on my original website.

Four Images Inside the Beltway: Windows 2017 Midseason Sale

I love the effect of windows reflections while simultaneously revealing scenes on the other side of the glass. These are from my trip through D.C. & Maryland earlier this spring.
