After years of using the computer as a drawing tool I decided to abandon it and return to using pencil, eraser, ruler and paper as a way of making the preparatory drawing for a painting. I also made the decision to use shaped supports after realizing that when I was looking at the previous Deck or Backsplit paintings in the studio I was constantly imagining what they would look like with particular sections/areas removed.
