This tile has irregular sides but is approx 8" sq. ^6 glaze and clay  The top photo was in the shade and the bottom photo was in the sun. This would fit into the 'primitive' category of my 'dichotomy of styles' and of course the other style would be 'the other'.

New tiles.  It's the same tile.Top shot was done in the shade and the bottom shot was in the sun. This is approx. 10" sq. / clay slips and glaze ^6.

More small sketches/ gel pen.  This type of drawing was my earliest art lesson. As a child ( pre school ) I remember my mother drawing animals for me without lifting her pencil. Of course I'm not doing that totally in these sketches but it happens to some extent.

Continuation of sketches from the same sketch pad. Sorry about the yellow tone.

I don't know how to correct the spacing of this entry. There should be a space between the 2 sketches. These 2 each were done with pencil on a 5" x 7" pad. Sorry about my photography.
