Unfinished from past 3 years | Probably will never be finished

I put considerable work into these, but they never quite felt finished.  I like them, but they are incomplete.
If you feel that you want to finish any of these, please email me at aardvarkf@yahoo.com.

Studio Shot - Dec. 2013

A picture of my work space from a little more than a year ago.

Non-Exposure

(c)2013 Ralf Schulze

This is an older piece that I create last year.  A study in grayscale.  Uses ink and various gray and white color pencil on 4" x 6" (postcard-sized) acid-free gray cardstock paper.
I remember I did it in one or two sittings and I liked it enough to sign it.

{my personal rule is:
 If I sign it, it is done/finished! And I cannot add to it after that}

It sat in a pile of papers for a few months until I recently discovered it.

Another Envelope Art

Titled "Fourth Reunion" and it's the same size and media as the others (click here). Media being ink and color pencil.... Love that kraftpaper color as a base...

Delirium

(c)2013 Ralf Schulze

I started this one on a bigger 12 x 12 acid-free card stock (made for scrap-booking) and trimmed it down to my standard 8.5 x 11.
The usual acrylic paint, ink and Color pencil.
Let me know what you think!

Neuro-Quest

 Newest addition!  started in February in Charlottesville (see start pic below)!  Same old acrylic paint, ink and color pencil on 8.5 x 11 acid-free colored paper!
This one was fun and just finally jumped at me after I looked at it in the mirror and saw the vertical potential.  But i signed it at an angle so it can be hung horizontally if the buyer desires.  For sale, of course, just email me at aardvarkf@yahoo.com!
