Sketchbook is a section of Bob Glover.com exhibiting various
drawings, watercolors, oil studies, and notes produced through
the years, some from the 1950s. Three sketchbooks are shown
open at the top of this page. Also, three
loose sketches are shown. The sketchbook at the very top
is from my
days as a student at
the University
of Georgia while Lamar
Dodd was still there. The sketch of the figure standing
with a rifle was a study done in 1960 for a magazine illustration.
The sketch of the bear was done in in 2006 to prepare for a
painting.
I worked for 30 years in a business that had nothing to do
with art but fortunately traveled to places where I was able
to visit museums and galleries in my spare time. I carried
along a sketchbook for making notes and studies. A newspaper
article by Alice Eachus (Smoke
Signals, June 2007) explains more about my sketchbooks.
Two of the sketchbooks shown open at the top
of this page were were filled with drawings and notes beginning in the late
1970s.
I understand that when one artist
studies closely the works of another its proper to give
acknowledgement by flipping the copyright symbol. That's
what I show in the detail to the left. I placed the
backward "c" between my copy of the N. C. Wyeth signature
and my
own to acknowledge that I
study his work.
