The Song of the Bird

Here is a new ink drawing from today, done in sepia ink (Sennelier 438 sepia to be precise). I find that the sepia color softens the drawing and gives it a warmth...so I will probably do a few more like this.

The Siren and Her Song

Here is another monochrome painting on cardboard. The sepia color of the cardboard gives a nice warm middle tone, so I leave parts of the surface bare or covered with a light wash of paint.

Songs Within Songs

This was another animated GIF version of my art that I made to go on my Tumblr blog.

The Songs of Angels

This one might need a little more work...also, in reality it's not quite so blue in hue as here.

Song

A new head done in silverpoint:

It's a strangely compelling image that almost calls to you from across the room.

I did consider calling the piece "Scream", or "Pain" or something, but the positive side won out, I think. It's interesting how a title can change perception of a work. If the title were lost, what would it be called?
