View out my window

Pretty self explanitory!  I was playing around with ink because oil is not an option at this moment, and I found myself trying to solve the problem of a limited and unusual palate because of the inks I had.  It was nice to work fluidly on shorter painting with a lot of open space.  I still got to do some of the building up that I love as well as using scribbling, agitated marks in conjunction with softer, flowing motions.

Obviously some were more successful than others, and working in a series allowed me to explore and solve some of the problems, such as balancing emptiness with positive space.
