I have been really struggling with this drawing for the last few days – trying to dream a resolution.
And like many of my drawings it began in a completely different place – and has undergone lots of transitions.
As a mother of twins the toll on the body is immense – living change. It is finally close to being finished (I think).

These drawings all started life as monoprints – then worked back into with conte, charcoal and oil washes.

Not sure where I am going with these – just experimenting at this stage.

valentine's day (sold) — valentine’s day (sold)

As it was Valentine’s Day yesterday – maybe I should have been drawing roses and maybe I was? Maybe I should go back and work into these drawings more?
