Drawing on cardboard

Signed on the front.

Every so often I do something that is calming and delights me. It is away from my Conceptual drawing and painting regime, and I do something that makes me feel close to my heart and wholesome. This work is a work of an image I took of a bouquet that was on my lounge room table by the very large windows. The style is cartoon like and semi realistic. The original here is vibrant and very detailed. It is pleasing to the eye. It is lifting.
A lot of hours have gone into this piece.
NB: This is frameless. It is recommended that mat board is included with the framing. It really is an artwork to be seen up close for the detail, as well as at the distance for the colours and shapes. There is something quite unique to the pigments in pastels.
In certain light, pastel pigment crystals glow and make a picture become quite alive. I have seen it with my art work especially in portraits where the work is full pastel coverage. What the photographs are not picking up are the silky petals and smooth gliding nuances of colour in the flowers. This is from the crystalline pigments. This is why I chose pastel for this drawing rather than coloured pencils or inks.

I thankyou for visiting. Have a happy day. :-D
