Here are some pages where I used thumbnail sketches to try out
different designs. I've used several of these designs for
paintings.
Lighthouse 2003
Someday I'll get around to painting this scene.
Repetition with Variation 2001
This was an interesting exercise. Each thumbnail is
based on the same basic design, but portrays a different
object.
Balance 2003
Here I was playing with the visual balance of shape
and line in an abstract way.
Barns 2004
Here I wanted to find the best ratio of light to dark
using the barn shapes as the light area.
Barns 2004
In these sketches I was playing with the graphic
possibilities of a barn and field seen from above.
