“Looking at fine drawings has always brought me enjoyment, and in the case of some of the great artist such as da Vinci or Rembrandt, I often prefer their drawings to their paintings. I do like to draw, and I am always sketching, but I don’t usually treat a drawing as a finished piece. However, the work of the american artist, Paul Calle, who can take a pencil and do a complex scene with vigorous lines and a variety of textures and tones, has inspired me to try this on several occasions. “Mule Deer in Aspen” is my major attempt in this direction.
(From the original painting Mule Deer in Aspen, 1986)
