Artist Statement:


    This image was hand-drawn using Corel Painter software and a Wacom tablet. It depicts a nineteenth-century summer “cottage” (actually more like a mansion) in Round Pond, Maine, along with a bit of the harbor’s coast line and a sky full of dramatic clouds. The wild, untamed quality of the clouds and water contrast with the very civilized summer home. My goal in this series of drawings was to demonstrate that the digital medium could be used to create work that was equal in appearance and quality to work created with traditional media, specifically charcoal in this case.
