“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’).

Watched the 25th Anniversary of Les Miserables on DVD recently and was really impressed with Alfie Boe's performance. These sketches are an initial attempt at getting a likeness which I hope to develop into a finished picture.
