Fierce Animal Face

Carved wooden mask/animal head. Permanent collection, Gardner Museum (of course, everything in this museum's collection is supposed to be permanent--it's written into the museum charter). I was about to give an elaborate explanation for the speed with which I executed this drawing. The light was failing as I worked, a big frustration. But... that is totally not the point of these dailies. They are SUPPOSED to be... unapologetic blurts.(Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA)
