 | | In a note penciled on Jan. 21, 1981, Ross anticipated this developing style, “I envision a continuing overall image of abstract forms that, upon closer inspection, are in reality representational.” He went on to write that he wanted to emphasize the mystical and fantastic, avoid sentimentality, obviousness, and classical nude positions, but he scribbled emphatically. |
 | | The technique Ross developed for his Inventive Realism is mainly washes of different chemical media, which sometimes are resisted by the surface of his paper and sometimes absorbed. |
 | | Ross had four children: Robert (Bob), deceased; Arlene, a retired medical doctor living in Arizona and alternately attending seminary school in Chicago; Alan, a successful author, singer/songwriter and business owner living in Bisbee, Arizona; and Wendy, retired from Brother Corp and living in Hilton Head, South Carolina. |
