“It is in the order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call ‘The Ten Thousand Things’ around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world.
I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is”.
(Frederick Franck, ‘The Zen of Seeing’).

This started out as an attempted concept painting inspired by a couple of screenshots from the movie Zulu, but ended up as more of a painting exercise. It was nice to use a bit of colour for a change.
