Artwork Description

While gardening one day I noticed charcoal which my husband had thrown on the ground from our firepit. I had always wanted to see what it was like to work with this medium, so picked it up and off I went to experiment. Oh what fun! I then went and bought artist grade paper and both black and white charcoal to draw more professional pieces. Having shared this image with my Facebook and Instagram followers, I received an array of suggestions. A couple of people said he looked like he was telling a secret, but Geoff, an old school friend said, "I think you should call him Geoffrey". He still makes me laugh all these years on. So I combined these two suggestions and entitled this piece Geoffrey's secret.

This is a figurative piece. That is, nobody sat for it, therefore if Geoffery looks like someone you know, it's purely incidental.

Comes in black box frame - impossible not to get my reflection sorry.

Artist Bio

Sue’s primary practice is acrylic and mixed media paintings, but she also enjoys charcoal drawing, along with oil and soft pastel, and watercolour painting. Her other interests lie in mixed media sculptures, wood being the primary medium with the addition of found objects - her small contribution to reducing landfill.

As a self-taught artist who sees drawings and paintings in everything she looks at, Sue dreams about art becoming her full-time career. This has become even more important to Sue having had to face her mortality while hospitalised in 2020 due to a life-threatening medical incident, resulting in her withdrawing from her MA(VisArts).
