Painting takes forever to set up for and clean up after.  Now that I had a little girl to take care of, I needed another medium, that I could pick up and put down quickly, to work in while she napped in her portable crib in the corner of my studio.  Sharpened pencils fit the bill, and the chance and happenstance of life was my subject.  Escher would have made a beautiful lithograph out of this.  The best I can do is a pencil drawing.
