When You Took My Hand

This piece is about getting swept up in the moment during the early days of a young relationship.
Inspired by the lyrics of Bryan Adam's 'Summer of '69', this double exposure styled piece floods the senses with the heart stopping thrill of touching the hand of your crush, and compares it to the sensual suspense of a kissing embrace.
The delicacy of the caressing hands are echoed through the soft and bright charcoal tones.

Note - This is the original sketch for sale, yet prints have been released of the piece.
