conflicting thoughts

Kristine Mays, artist
Completed in 1996
Medium: oil pastels on paper
9 x 5.5 in.

I remember drawing this during a time when I was fascinated with sepia colored photos. This was also a time when the world seemed to be a very confusing place and therefore other people who seemed deep in thought or struggling to grasp life's complexities stood out to me. I have found drawing to be incredibly theraputic.

singin' the blues

Kristine Mays, artist
Completed in 1994
Medium: oil pastels on paper
17 x 13 in.

This is one of my favorite drawings simply because I embraced color. I was not fearful or timid in my use of color and at the same time I was able to capture the many colors within a person's complexion. While this woman is singing the blues, there is also a certain beauty that springs forth in times of pain and struggle…

a man and his privacy

Kristine Mays, artist
Completed in 1996
Medium: oil pastels on paper
8 x 5 in.

It's a strange drawing I know. Yet it reminds me of someone peeking out their door, unwilling to open it completely and let you in...
