four self-portraits in charcoal: a puppet-like figure in the spotlight, a puppet master, a ringmaster with top hat and a hand holding a pencil

of anything and everything

DRAWINGS

"Drawing takes many forms: from the simple doodle to a full-scale compositional layout. I started drawing, like so many of us, as a small child and haven't stopped since. I am constantly scribbling down ideas. Most of them end up going nowhere, but sometimes they develop into large scale paintings." MORE
