Sketch that began series

The July gallery Crawl in the Southend area was well attended. It was a cool night for July! The officers of the Art League allowed me to display all the drawing in my series in a vacant studio. The drawings looked good. I saw some areas in each drawing that need work. Also, I was able to hang the sketches that began the series. The one shown above has never been published on this blog before. I decided not to execute a larger version of this sketch. It seemed too pessimistic; the rock looks like it is about to come crashing down into the figure. I may do a larger version of this in the future. Mark your calendars: the Weight series will be exhibited in December at the Art Institute gallery.
