She loves me, she loves me not....

When I had the epiphany I call 'the sadness of aging' I was 19 years old and it was 11 o'clock in the morning.

Mesmerised

This is a character from the first illustrated novel I did. And never sent away. That's alright. It was all practice. 

So I resurrected him for this one and placed him near this river. He is mesmerised by his own reflection..... like The Dog and its Shadow - one of Aesop's Fables. Except this boy has no bone in his mouth - luckily. Boy, that was a hard pose to do. He had to hold it for about three hours.....;)

PS one of the scenes from the book - sort of fits in with the Mesmerised theme. Please click the images for big :D

Pushing Boundaries

Just did a kind of refresher course with Jack Foster on Surrealism and with Linda Hensley on patterns and had my  boundaries pushed. These images are the result. Thank you both :) Please click for big if you like.

PS had a great day at the gallery today. Will post review soon :)
