This month I spent a weekend with friends having an art-and-play date at their upstate retreat. We all managed to get a lot of studio work done, as well as entertain the kids and visit Olana (the nearby home of 19th Century Hudson River School artist Frederic Church). I had been working on this series of drawings exploring relationships between people and other animals (circle of life?). The change of scenery suggested some new directions for the drawings.
