Announcing Bailin Studio Gallery

Bailin Studio Gallery is a new galley storefront for my artwork. Here, visitors can look over my work and catalogs for sale and purchase items with PayPal or credit card payments. While Bailin Studio will remain a complete record of my new and older work, resume, reviews, articles and updated news, the gallery store has been removed (did any visitors realize I had work for sale there?) and placed on the new site. Doing this gives a focus to both sites. And Bailin Studio and Bailin Gallery are interconnected so that if you are interested in purchasing or finding out more information about a drawing or the studio in general, you can switch easily between them.

Please visit the Gallery and check it out. If you find anything amiss, please let me know.

I began a series of sketches with figures struggling in water and thought enough about the images to transfer them to large paper. The beginning is always filled with trepidation and excitement.

I can't help responding to the activity of drawing. I love the blowback. Since I no longer think about how to draw something I can respond to how the drawing is developing and allow flashes of correspondences to come into my mind. I may start out alone but, in the end, a successful drawing brings a party of other artists suggesting strategies, techniques, references. In this case, the struggling men reminded me of Goya's Witches' Flight painting.
