Happy man

Image
  I feel this is my best portrait yet. Done with one finger on an iPad it has taken days  to smudge in the colours and get it as detailed as possible to be accurate and recognisable. I am really pleased with it, I have to admit. It is a tiring task yet also very invigorating as the person begins to appear out of the blank screen. Always a nerve racking process. But so rewarding in the end.

Can you help feed me?

 Interesting how the back ground colour can lift a picture or alter it significantly. This picture was previously done on a black background. The lighter background enables it to be turned into a poster. I am happy to support raising awareness of the saved PennyPaws  dogs in Romania who all in need ongoing funding till they come to the UK. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2025/02/28/please-help-us-feed-the-50-rescued-dogs-in-romania/

 I have struggled with this picture for months. I am pleased to say I have managed to complete it. Ofcourse one can always keep going, finessing a picture. It is never easy to determine exactly when to stop, but I feel this is a good enough likeness and she has such beautiful markings. I very much hope that drawing her will help raise awareness of how beautiful she is.

My World

Image
  GREG IS MY WORLD My physical life is incredibly tormented and empty. This is how I describe it:  My life is at best a whirlwind of disconnected fragments, Jangled together in an unpredictable nightmare That traps me in the centre of a storm I could not see coming  and have no idea how to stop. Or escape from, Completely beyond my control I am at the mercy of a pattern I can barely grasp Or cling on to.” Yet here too Greg stays and loves me, we build a life together, trying to rise above it or just be in it, in all its chaos. I drew this picture on the computer. It is incredibly hard work to draw with one finger, a huge effort. I added some words to try and convey some of the beauty that he exudes to me and the world.
