Welcome



“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’).

131-132 Margaret Rutherford

Finally got back to doing some sketching yesterday after a good month or so of inactivity. The main reason has been to do with a lack of both time and energy after starting work last month. Things have settled down a bit now, routines etc and hopefully I can get my drawing back on track.



These two sketches done over the last two days started as studies of Margaret Rutherford. Her Miss Marple movies have been playing on TV recently and I thought she would make a great subject for a portrait or a caricature, she was such a great character.
