More Drawings from Harry

Posted in Art, art on paper, Drawing, figurative, gesture, Harry Bennett, Illustration, Tom Bennett, work on paper with tags , , , , , , on December 3, 2009 by Tom Bennett

I spent Thanksgiving with my family and was happy to see my father, Harry, had been drawing over the last few weeks since I had seen him last. I went out and bought him some  Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens of various points, including a brush point. I happen to use them myself and I think they’re the cat’s pissah. Or meow, if you prefer.

Here are some of his sketchbook drawings for the Autumn season.  His comments and musings are always funny and/or revealing.

More drawings from the New York Subway. Tired, quiet, thoughtless, thoughtful, drunk, sober, stoned, demented, peaceful and depressed people who none the less are quite patient with me and suitable to draw. Click on the thumbnail if you care to see these up close and personal.

Dad Partied with Joe Cocker

When the storm came in at Woodstock. Anyway, I spent time this week down in old Baltimore with the rents and did some drawing with Harry. His concentration tightens and his energy accelerates when he draws, which doesn’t happen as much as it should, as far as I’m concerned. Here are Harry’s drawings:

The Jung and the Restless

Was a good soap opera. These are purely sport to look at, as far as I’m concerned. Here I play with inks and pencil and paint and let nature and serendipity take its course, then make small adjustments and decisions as I examine the revealed biomorphic forms and the anima, buried in my alpha male, tickles my thigh. Its all a nice jungian/buddhist kinda frolic. Boy, this sounds overcooked.
