I've been experimenting with the idea of figure and ground in some of my more recent artwork. I wanted to draw a picture of a bunch of daisies to send to my friend Sophie. Since daisies have white petals, white paper won't work to give the right effect. Instead, I asked for some black construction paper and then colored it white and yellow to indicate the color of the daisies. This drawing worked out so well, I made a couple of others to give to other friends.

Hi, Aidan,
The next time you come to visit me in Pennsylvania, I'll have some drawing supplies here for you to use. Also, some of your Daddy's old Matchbox cars.
Love,
