Back to My Drawing Table
…getting ready for the Black and White Show
It’s been awhile since I painted anything. I’ve used a medium that I’ve only dabbled in. These two pieces are made with charcoal and ink. I still need to name them. If you can think of anything I would definitely consider it.
Both are framed and matted in a 11″x14″ frame.

The feature display was filled with poinsettia of all different colours, sizes and shapes. Here are a few photos to wet your appetite.
