The Kitchen Table Drawings are watercolor on Sennelier paper. They are small—6 x 8 inches. There have been several times in my life when the predicament of not being able to get to the studio for extended periods has resulted in extreme frustration. The Kitchen Table Drawings are a response to my frustration and a result of painting every night after dinner, my plate pushed aside from the cotton place mat and replaced with brush, paint and paper. The activity produced a diary of sorts, a moment in time, an aid to returning to balance.
