So close!

My brother is 9 years older than me and when we were growing up, I always used to borrow his toys because they were so much more interesting and intricate than mine.
I was very curious about how everything worked and would often take things apart to understand their mechanism (I was not always able to put them back together... :-)
I loved playing with brain teasers and puzzles and generally solved them pretty quickly. The Rubik's Cube, however, has always been and remains my nemesis.
This is my brother's Rubik's cube from when I was 10 years old. It is still in pieces, but oh so close!

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.
