Meanwhile, I rediscovered a number of Sumi Paintings that he did during 2009. He loved working with the black Japanese ink and various brushes to achieve these effects. I am amazed, in looking back at them, at how varied the intensities, shapes, and lines are. Most of the paintings are abstract but a few feature objects. He used a book to help him learn about Sumi so some of the "figures" may mean something in Japanese.
I love them <3
ReplyDeleteI do too Susan. Thanks.
DeleteWow! These are awesome! The fourth and fifth from the bottom as well as the seventh, eighth, and ninth from the bottom look like japanese calligraphy if the pictures are turned vertically.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.
So Gregory.
Yes. He may have copied some of the calligraphy appearing ones from the book he was using to learn about Sumi.
