From the gravestone of Thomas Allen located in Lancaster MA. This drawing is from my sketchbook looking at a photo from the Farber Gravestone collection online.
I have been drawing a lot more lately. Looking at photos of old gravestones and playing with the forms trying to learn from them. I have always loved the concept of these figures in doorways… passing from one place to another.
“I hear a small sound, and one more time
I put the patient key in the lock.
The door trembles as it opens:”
