My friend Stephen Petronis and I were in the Botanical Gardens drawing the last vestiges of tulips before they perished. I knew the flowers alone on the page would not be enough to make an interesting drawing. At least that’s how I saw it. A few felines seemed to do the trick. I sometimes work on a drawing for a few days, constantly trying to make it feel a bit more compelling. I have an inner critic that lets me know if something is done or if I must keep drawing elements to help it to its conclusion. Nothing is planned out in advance but I do have a moment when I say to myself, it’s finished.
