Categories Figurative Everyday Life

My husband has hitchhiked back and forth across America from north to south, east to west. A young "Kerouac on the road". He worked as a barefoot migrant in Maine picking wild blueberries on cold mornings with the smell of the sea in the air; planted Douglas firs above the clouds in the mountains of Oregon for the BLM; worked in construction on the open plains of Oklahoma; been tutored by an accomplished bronze sculptor at the foot of the Colorado mountains; bailed hay stretching the sun across his back in central Florida; and wore a white shirt and tie for the IRS in Texas, pulling tax records with pale financial histories for families seeking installment plans. But I believe that I have always loved the barefoot migrant sleeping beneath an old hat best.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Graphite

Black and white drawing made with a pencil, an instrument made of a small wooden stick used as a sheath for a graphite mine of the same length.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
