In addition, there is a large body of work that represents his many international assignments and the locations where he and his wife were stationed, as well as ships and naval scenes. His drawings are notable for their vitality, often conveyed with surprisingly spare detail. He most often did pen-and-ink sketches finished with an ink wash, but his large body of work includes pencil, watercolor, pastels, etchings, and even oils. |
