After a short absence, I'm back at work...I've not been anywhere, I've just been unable to spend the time I need to develop my ideas.the down side to all that was the more I considered and mused on my current project,the more I didn't like it. If I'd had the time, I'd have continued regardless and no doubt been happy with the end product..So I decided the original concept was sound and decided to re work the main character. So for this, I used myself as the model...where else do you go if you need a bitter twisted old man?...none of my friends fit the bill. the sketch above shows the photo alongside!
I would also like to thank Claudine who lives in Belgium for introducing me to the work of Paul Delvaux who was an excellent painter of surrealist subjects...I'll prepare a post about his work at a later date, but I now feel regenerated to let the ink flow once again on this subject...
Other good news arriving today was confirmation that I have been accepted to exhibit at the Wirksworth Arts Festival in September....more information nearer the date.

Congratulations!
Sorry to disappoint you but you really don't resemble a bitter twisted man...But you have the power to put it into paper, that's what matters.
DM...If you think my previous black and white pictures were complex and strange...just wait till you see what i have planned here!
