The Oracle at Delphi

This is a new drawing for the Journey to Somewhere series I'm working on with Barry Farmer. It started as a pencil drawing, but when I scanned it, the subtle shades of pencil tone tended to disappear, so I darkened it with brush & ink. I think the process was worthwhile...

The Oracle at Delphi, 2011, pencil & ink on paper, 11" x 8.5".

The Oracle silverpoint drawing

Here is another silverpoint drawing possibly for the upcoming show (see post below):


The Oracle, 2009, silverpoint on tinted ground, 10" x 8".

Another in a series of archetypal/mythological heads.

The Oracle, Overloaded

New (Entropy Series, probably) drawing:


The Oracle, Overloaded, 2009, brush & ink on paper, 23.5" x 18".

I guess we all have days like these.
