Oops!

This vintage tennis racquet reminds me of my grand-parents' house....
As kids, my cousins and I would spend all our time outside (out of the way of the grown ups and their boring conversations), playing with anything we could find. Badminton racquets, tennis, table tennis. But every single time, the ball would end up in the neighbour's garden, up on the roof or in the creek... Maybe we were just a little bit too enthusiastic! :-)

Hi,

Thank you for dropping by...
My name is Cecile Michel and I am a pencil artist living in Paynesville, Australia.
I draw with graphite pencils and charcoal on stretched canvas to create strong contrasts and subtle shadows.
I love using the black and white theme to reinforce a sense of fun memories (like black and white photographs) but occasionally will throw in a few limited pieces containing colour... Just to keep thinks surprising and unexpected.
When I drew my first “Nostalgia” piece, I couldn’t stop smiling as I remembered the endless hours spent playing games with my cousin in our little village in the East of France; I wanted to share this feeling with you and hopefully you will find that object which is part of YOUR happy memories.
